Hi all! I've been searching on the internet for this, I've been eating less than 40g carb a day (closer to 30g most days) for a week, ketones have been anywhere from 0.1-0.6. How long did it take you to get into the optimal ketosis range when you started the keto diet, and how many g of carbs...

I know this is a dead thread but I really want to weigh in hahaaha I was diagnosed at 16, now 24. I live in a country that has quite a binge drinking culture. What I've noticed is that if I drink a lot I go high, then my sugars are heaps lower the next day. I am also a drunken snacker, so that...

24, diagnosed 8 years :) Happy to chat to anyone who needs support!

You only eat once a day?! Can you tell me more?

I think you are in optimal ketosis, pretty much. I guess just keep doing what you're doing :)

I'm not planning on drinking coffee during the test, it's the 24 hours before. I guess they're worried about the residual effects of caffeine on your metabolism but if I drink coffee every day then working out my basal rate without coffee would be skewed. The only variable I should take out is...

Hi everyone, I'm going to do some basal rate testing to start the new year off right. I know how to do it, only problem is, last time I did it I was 17 and not addicted to caffeine like I am now! I've read in some places that you can't have caffeine for 24 hours before your test. Can someone...

Hey! I travel a lot, type 1 with a pump (and backup needles novorapid etc). Last time I did long haul I didn't even bother with my Friobag, I shoved insulin into a Tupperware with a little icepack thing (not touching, don't want to freeze the insulin!) and had no problems. I even asked the air...

Oh aha yes that is me, but I've always had a sticky outy clavicle, it's just my bones. Current BMI is 27 so definitely overweight. Please don't worry! Thanks for your concern.

I was on the clinical trial for this drug. It was awesome. No UTIs, no blood pressure issues, no euglycaemic ketoacidosis, lost 6kg in 6 months, was on barely any insulin, HbA1c went from 75 to 47. Can't wait for it to be made available!

I get irked by blood smears all over my documents at work cos my finger won't stop bleeding haha

I'm the same, diagnosed at 16 and haven't been the same since, energy wise and mental health wise. I think it made me have to grow up really fast. But you wouldn't be the person you are today without having gone through all you have!

That's amazing, go you! I just had a colleague at work tell me I'm slimmer now than when I started a month ago, so that's positive!

T This is amazingly helpful, thank you! Do you have any tips on how to deal with a heavy weekend? ;)

So I am exercising, quite a bit, so any advice on what I should do pre-workout?
