I have been very low carb high fat for around 6 years now, and will be for the rest of my life. I feel much better for it, fitter, stronger and healthier. I take 3 or 4 units for each meal. Protein definitely has an affect, often 4 hours after a meal, not within 2 hours, so sometimes have to...

How long have you been on a low carb high fat diet? Or a ketogenic diet? I have been very low carb high fat for 6 years. Typically less than 25g carb per day. I think I have been ketogenic for all of those 6 years, but not 100%sure as don’t test. I am stronger, fitter, healthier now than I was...

Well done for establishing the facts. That makes each Baton around 1g of carbs. I guess that’s why I haven’t seen an increase in my BG levels when I eat one.

At six months in, you are doing great. It is a learning curve. Keep testing. I would love a libre too. I keep on asking, but they say my BG control is too good!!!

Hi Sazla. I find if I over eat, even very low carb, it raises my BG levels very slowly, and this is probably because of the protein. 2 hours after a meal my BG levels will often be around 5, then 2 hours later, without eating or drinking, they will often be at 6. This occurs when I eat excessive...

Hi Alexandra, Yes, in the UK. But my GP practice don’t get involved in my diabetes, I am under my local hospital (Addenbrookes). They are very good and understanding about low carbing. I asked for a insulin pen sometime beforehand, and was given one (Novo rapid) with no problem, on the...

LADA generally refers to a new diagnosed T1 who is still producing some insulin... my understanding. So, if you very low carb you might... just might... be able to survive without insulin for a few years, but eventually will need insulin. I did 3 years without insulin, I now take insulin (to...

The daily mail reports that a Low-carb diet may boost immunity. My wife has been ill with flu for four weeks now, so far I have not caught it. I am, and have been, ketogenic for around 5 years. Both of us have had the flu jab!. Has anyone else ketogenic experienced evidence of this. The mail...

The nutritional information on the back of the pack clearly indicates it is zero carb. Zero per 100g. I can’t believe a household name like Hotel Chocolate would lie about its nutritional content. Just stating what’s on the back of the pack.

It’s different. Look closely at the packet. The ones that are zero carb are organic. Rare and vintage Batons. 100% dark organic.

Look closely. Different product.

Zero carb. Back in stock at Bury st Edmunds. £6.50 or two packs for £12.00

Nearly six years low carb (under 30g a day) high fat. Stronger, fitter, healthier now than 20 years ago. No regrets, all positive. Yes, it is occasionally difficult when eating out, but most of the time manageable. The great thing about my diet is that is so naturally clean, no chemicals, no...

They are carb free. On the back of pack it states. Carbs 0. Fat 52.9G per 100g. Looking on their website, not available. I buy them at local shop whenever they have them. They don’t affect my glucose levels at all.

Hotel Chocolate sell a zero carb chocolate. Batons, 100% dark organic Ecuador. Very nice.

Two years after Lada diagnosis I started on small amounts of insulin when my hba1c hit 40. My hba1c is now 36. In my opinion, best to start early. The earlier you start the longer the honeymoon period will last, if hba1c is kept low. Now nearly 6 years since diagnosis and still in the honeymoon...

It’s 5 years since I read dr Bernstein book, so you may well be right. I just try to keep to 4.8 / 5.8 ( but don’t always achieve it). I am, and have been, ketogenic for 5 years now. Much stronger and healthier than I was, can’t imagine not following his guidelines.

I have been following Dr Bernstein my solution for around 5 years now. His solution is (the way I read it) about keeping your BG levels to 4.8 two hours after eating and limiting them to 5.8 max one hour after eating. He recommends ways of doing this eg. One small tomato max per meal, and...

Hi CERN I diagnosed was T2, then GAD test, and was over 2000. I was immediately transferred from my local surgery to my local hospital. The NHS seem to have T2s reviewed by local GP practice and T1s at their main hospital, so my guess is your Gp will advise your local hospital and then you...
