With BG levels at 4.9, I would take 3 units before eating a low carb breakfast. I would test an hour and two hours after taking insulin, this will give you a guide to how your body reacts to insulin. Make sure you have access to something sugary for a couple of hours (orange juice etc) in case...

Coming in a bit late, but as my name was mentioned, thought I would give my experience. After being diagnosed T1, I went around 2 1/2 years without insulin or meds, just LCHF diet and exercise. I was given insulin pens etc around 18 months before I used it, with clear instructions about use...

A few years back, I was in exactly the same position, I had lost weight and needed to put on a stone. I decided to concentrate on eating more fat.... a bulletproof coffee every day (30g coconut oil and 30g butter with a little double cream. I have double cream with just about anything and...

Insulin itself doesn’t extend the honeymoon period, but insulin helps us control our blood sugar levels by keeping them close to normal levels. There is much evidence that high sugar levels destroy our insulin making beta cells. Dr Bernstein my solution book clearly identifies this..... he says...

Tunes Cherry Menthol sugar free

I have flaked almonds and double cream, sometimes adding some seeds and other nuts. Stopped using almond milk as it is full of chemicals (a processed food) whereas cream is natural and therefore healthier (in my opinion).

You could consider keeping it very very simple by simply saying that you can not eat any Potato’s ,Bread, Pasta or Rice. If you do eliminate these entirely you will be low carb, the rest (sweecorn, toot veg etc) you can just leave on your plate. I tend to do this in some restaurants...

Cauliflower cheese is a great roast dish that everyone seems to like. I often put some broccoli in to, with a cup a double cream. As said part boil, then add cream, pop in oven for 20min then remove lid and sprinkle grated cheese on top for last 15mins.

Your diet Ojustaboo is almost exactly the same as mine, although I often have a 250g rump steak for dinner. My weight is 80kg. But my weight fluctuates daily by as much as 6lb. Keep it up, I am sure it will work.

Bullet proof coffee. I have one every day, probably worth around half a stone. 30g coconut oil and 30g butter in a largish coffee mug, microwave to melt then blend with a simple battery operated blender then add the coffee (the nicer the coffee the better eg coffee pod or filter) Flakes almonds...

I have been Keto for over 4 years now. Before that I was low fat everything. I enjoy my food. I don’t miss bread, pasta, potatoes or rice at all. I do miss fruit. I also like that fact that I now have a clean diet as everything I eat is natural food with no chemicals added (apart from bacon...

Try a handful of sliced almonds and double cream. I have this every morning I awake,before a later egg and bacon fry up

Sorry I can’t. Just what I have researched / concluded over the last 4 years. My personal opinion from research I have made. Fair to say the jury is out.

Generally, from what I have read and researched, virgin coconut oil is better.

Try a bullet proof coffee. I have had one every day for the last 4 years. I put Approx 30g coconut oil and 30g butter (unsalted is best) in a large coffee cup. microwave to melt (45 sec). Then a Nespresso or other quality coffee into the mug and mix thoroughly (a battery mixer works well, hand...

It is possible to maintain weight on this diet. I have been LCHH for over 4 years now, with a BMI of around 23. Initially I dipped to below 21, and drs advised I should come off the diet unless I put on weight. So I went higher fat. I have a bulletproof coffee (30g coconut oil and 30g butter in...

Wow.... I started this thread 3 years and 37 weeks ago.... still following his diet / solution. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to keep their BG levels under control. It works.

I don't take any Basal insulin, only Novo Rapid Bolus before meals. In effect, because i am still in the honeymoon period and my pancreas is still producing some insulin I don't need to Basal...... yet. I am no expert on taking insulin as I am new to it too, and only take small quantities. But...

Sounds like you probably are LADA. As said, ask for a c-peptide test and a GAD test, but unfortunately because of the cost many GPs are reluctant to do these tests. If you are LADA, then you most likely are still in the honeymoon period, in which case you will stay in the honeymoon period much...

I was diagnosed Lada just over 4 years ago, been on insulin for last 2 years. Not put on any weight since being on insulin. Dr Bernstein and many others believe the key to a long honeymoon is keeping your blood sugar levels low, eg. 4.8 prior to meals and 5.8 at 2 hours after meals, which...
