The libre reader itself, that little black monitor, can take glucose strips and ketone test strips. Although you only get ten ketone strips in a pack.

I've struggled for a long time with depression and anxiety. For me, it's always going to be there in the background. What I have managed to do though is formulate healthier coping mechanisms, a sort of sequence of steps that if I follow, doesn't allow me to sink any deeper into bad mental...

So I've been easing into Keto, doing it properly. Mixing it with intermittent fasting, watching the nutrients and taking vitamins etc. I have a routine going now. I generally don't eat until 6pm, but snack on nuts and drink coffee with soya in to keep my levels steady. Then at 6pm I'll have...

Thanks Lamont. Now that you have changed your diet to low carb, do you have a bit more freedom in your life? As in, do you hypo daily or have you managed to form a routine/diet that prevents them from happening for the most part? I appreciate your response. This is one strange condition.

I'm sorry that you are both going through this, it must be incredibly scary and frustrating. One thing I may add is, with her low cortisol levels, has she been investigated for Addisons disease?

Hello, this is my first post here, I've been searching for answers for so long now that I think asking the community directly could help me. This may be a long post, so please bare with me. I am currently 25 years old. Almost four years ago I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after presenting...
