    Forxiga

    Hi I have been on this drug for around six months now (i'm type 1). I noticed this too, I think it is the glucose being flushed out of your system as that is one of the main effects of the drug. I smell like sugar puffs occasionally! :)

    Exogenous Ketones

    I was replying to you but absolutely didn’t think you were suggesting I try it. I was just saying I am aware of the major difference between the two states

    Thank you. That reinforces the fact for me. Another positive vote for the butter then ! I will try it , at least no dodgy ingredients [emoji4][emoji1303]

    Exogenous Ketones

    I respect your input but although I am not an expert I do understand the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis. I wouldn’t endanger myself on purpose

    Exogenous Ketones

    I see. Thank you I will give it a bash over the break and see if it helps. I saw my Aunt putting coconut oil in her coffee but I thought she was just having a senior moment [emoji51]

    Exogenous Ketones

    I thought it couldn’t have been as easy as having a drink in the morning and magically being in ketosis and fat burning mode! Thank you for saving me money [emoji1303] @Oldvatr

    Exogenous Ketones

    That makes sense, I know these products seem to be fairly new, I haven't seen any posts about other diabetics trying them. I have been watching with interest on peoples progress though. Does look incredible

    Exogenous Ketones

    Ah right, ok. It's just I have seen photos of incredible transformations and I was drawn in by the potential weight loss

    Thank you for replying. I have heard of bulletproof coffee, is this the one made with butter?

    Exogenous Ketones

    Morning All I have seen a lot of online mentions of the above which seems to primarily be Hydroxybutyrate based. Apparently these drinks put you in ketosis within 24 hours without needing to do very low carbing. I am keen to try this despite the fact it is super expensive. Has anyone heard...

    Heart Rate above 100bpm

    I'm relieved to be reading this thread. I'm type 1 and my resting hr is never much below 100. It has been like this for at least 9 years. It does worry me that I am going to wear out eventually. ECG's showed tachycardia and ectopic beats abut apart from that normal. I am not on any meds for it.

    Mirena coil & blood sugars/insulin requirements

    Hi Juicyj Many thanks for responding. I'm happy to report minimal impact so far to my levels. Mood however, that's a different story. The procedure was bearable and I was able to walk about afterwards. The next 48hrs was rather painful (a little like slow labour) but is gradually easing.

    When Should You Feel a Hypo?

    Normally I 'feel' hypo around 3.5 , but last night I was checking as I was about to go to sleep as I do every night, and was shocked to discover I was 1.8!! Zero symptoms, so I rechecked and it was correct. So glad I checked, but it really worried me that I hadn't had the typical shakes/tongue...

    forxiga

    Hi Whenever I have a meeting that I have to travel a bit for , I usually delay my dose which I normally take at seven am. If I'm going to be at a conference etc, I miss a dose. It doesn't have any negative effect on me. I only stop for a week if I am on antibiotics, like this week!
