Hi I know I asked about hypos before but has anyone else had this problem with hypos? I've just completed my first full week low carb. I'm on less than 60g carbs a day and for the most part feel great, healthy and energetic. I've reduced my insulin to a third of what it was before and at the...

I have to say, I'm not a cook but I've just spent twenty minutes on the www.philadelphia.co.uk and I'm amazed at how many low carb suggestions there are. You can't specify low carb but if you select vegetables and full fat philly as your filter, you get 100s of great recipes. We are having pork...

I tried it. I'm type 1 on a pump. Unfortunately I tried it with not enough necessary info so it was a bit of a disaster. I restricted myself to 600 cals on the two days of fasting, eating high protein, low carbs. On these two fasting days I struggled with exercise. I felt drained and tired...
