Hi there, Was wondering if anyone on here could help. I’m a type one diabetic, 5 stone overweight And just can’t seem to lose weight. I do a relatively low carb diet around 45 to 75 g of carbs a day I can’t go any lower as have had Dka in the last nine months Bloods are good usually between 4-7...

Hi there , Apologies for the late reply , I’ve been doing it for just under 8weeks now . Fasting 18/6 On my first 36hour fast 22 hours in (not quite sure how to manage my lantus but will check bloods regularly ) thanks for replying to me Kinda hard to know what to do for the best

Hi , Thanks for the info , I don’t know it could take Up to 8 weeks, this gives me hope ! It’s so difficult isn’t it , but thank you . Good luck with your regime, guess it all takes tweaking .

Been doing it for a month But only lost 1 lbs

Thank you for the info The bloods are coming down , no idea if that’s the insulin or not but as I lower the insulin the bloods go up a little so no chance of hypos at the minute Think I need to persevere with the keto

Even though if I lower my insulin slightly my bloods go up

So I just need to keep on with the keto to try and reverse the resistance ? And obviously speak to my hcp about reducing the insulin

This is what I was thinking

Hinther Hi there thanks for your reply , I am in ketosis , I have around 10g of carbs a day if that . I’ve jumped from 13 stone to 16 , I’m 5’8. Bloods are around 7/8 now Maybe they are not low enough to burn fat but could that be because I’m taking too much insulin ? Or too little ? waiting...

Hi there yes my levels have gone down from an average of 15/16 to 8 so they are going down slowly but clearly not in fat burning mode Well done on your weight loss Hope I get there too

I was First diagnosed about seven years ago when I was just on Metformin and for about three years I was really good and my A1 C was around about the 5 mark Then I cut it kind of went off the rails and couldn’t stick to Keto , started back on carbs then got ill with another problem and while I...

Thank you for replying , it’s so hard isn’t it

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I will check dr Naiman out . I’m at my wits end now , I’ve put on nearly 3 stone and just can’t stand it . I’ve lost weight on keto before but before I was on insulin. For the last month I haven’t lost a single lbs thank you again I will give this...

Hi there , Can anyone help me . I’m a type 2 who’s bloods were Pretty much out of control for the last year For the last month I have been intermittent fasting (18/6)and on the keto regime (barely any carbs ) I have got my bloods down to anywhere between four and eight but I haven’t lost a pound...
