I’ve been doing low carb and cal. But will aim to increase to 1200 cal per day. I am guessing this is a safe limit. Thanks for talking me through net carb calculation. I have been doing all this fir the last year to reverse type 2 and lose weight. I would like to keep weight off now, even lose half a stone more. Just don’t want to gain. I realise now that I can’t reverse it if have LADA. Just feels like a waiting game for insulin. So I’m not sure what approach to take now. Perhaps 50g carbs per day and 1200 cals would be ok to at least help maintain weight loss and keep the blood sugars down. I do loads of exercise. When not teaching dance, I am walking the dog.
Should I ask the nurse for a ketone meter in new year at the surgery. She told me to drop a urine sample in to the surgery, as they didn’t check urine at my August annual check. Haven’t done it yet though as asked her what they would do if not ok and she said give you something to relax kidneys if required. Didn’t like sound of that. My kidney function came back as fine in August.
