    Knee pain.. back pain..? Low Carb all the way

    My knee got worse with keto , i had to have a steroid injection as it couldn't sleep the pain was so bad.

    Type 1 Thrush

    yes a problem for me too when i had high blood sugars, once i got it under control and had the treatment it went away , I also found that taking carbs and sugar out of my diet keeps it away because it is my understanding that thrush thrives on sugar . Hope you are okay and hope it clears up ...
