I’ve found it quite tough with exercise and maintaining gluco control. For a 1 hour ride at moderate intensity I’m loading with approx 45g carbs which I know goes against the idea of fat burning. Something I was looking at before this set back.

I’ve just started a training plan so probably on my bike 5 hours a week. This has only been over the past 4 weeks though, I was relatively inactive before this.

Thanks for the reply, the blood test was at 5:30pm so my guess as I can’t quite remember is I ate something around 12:30, maybe a cheddar soup and a packet of pork scratchings, can’t quite remember. I had also probably had a cup of coffee with double cream and a couple of waters. I lost about...

Thanks everyone for the information. I’m struggling to convince the other half that what I was doing wasn’t just an attempt to make life difficult. I can’t help but feel the doctor is going to be dead against me getting back on with LCHF and will try convince me to eat healthy fats and increase...

Thanks, if I’ve got my cholesterol profile from the doctor what am I looking for in terms of results of lipid panel?

I’m on insulin and levothyroxine, no other medication

Evening all, I’ve been running a LCHF diet for just over 2 months, a few weeks ago I became a little unwell and ended up having blood tests done to establish the cause of the issue. I was called back into the surgery to discuss my results. My overall cholesterol has risen from 5.6 (I know...

If I treat a hypo with jelly babies or some other carbs will I come out of Ketogenic state fast? And will it take a few days for my body to re-adjust to fat burning for energy?

Hey, Thanks for the reply. Currently I’m getting on my indoor trainer bike, approx 1-2hour sessions about 4 times a week. I’m building strength so intensity is reasonably low keeping my HR around 130-150bpm. If I don’t keep topping up with carbs I’m hypoglycaemic after about 20 mins...

Good evening all, Hope you all had a great weekend. I was hoping to find someone who has done any work with ketogenic diets and exercise as a type 1 diabetic. I’ve been running very low carb/keto since 1st December with unbelievable positive effects on my blood gluco control. I’m planning to...

Keep us updated with progress on this, would be interested how you get on and your route. I like the idea of not planning your stops too heavily. I’m sure if I do that I may end up extending the journey time though, knowing my next stop is xxx miles away will keep my seated. Knowing I can stop...

Hey Alexandra, Thanks for this, I’ve had a bit of a look through Ian’s blog and it’s amazing how well he’s in control while doing physical activity. Are you type 1 and have you done anything like low carb for fat adapted? Just spoke to my wife about it as it really would be a lifestyle change...

Thanks for the reply sue! Sounds like you’re doing brilliant to be diagnosed just a couple of years ago and undertaking a challenge like JOGLE, congratulations for completing it. I felt quite the same, I had lost my old man when I was 26, I was a pretty chubby guy at the time, decided It was a...

Thanks appreciate the reply! Might take down the fundraising for a while to assist in increasing interest.
