There are bodybuilder so who use lchf approach. I Think they are called keto gains on Facebook and the website is http://ketogains.com/ Might be worth a look at? They do serious training without the carbs. I (try) and lift heavy on vlchf. The fat is for fuel not for muscle building. Sounds...

@Canadian_cousin the protein spikes are very much lower than a carb. I'm a type 1 so you may find as you are type 2 you may be producing enough insulin still to cover it. I think too much protein is only hard on your kidneys if you already have problems with them. There is a type 2 on here who...

The high fat is not a challenge to eat as much as you want but until you are full. I love my sugar free jelly and cream but too much and I'll start putting on weight. I cook with fats, I eat meat that is considered fatty. Love pork belly. I eat oily fish. I have an avocado most days, butter on...

I've been lchf for 3 years. To begin with you have test A LOT! Before I got my cgm I tested through the night for safety too. You will start noticing that you get a very small spike from protein but it won't be straight away. It could be 1-3 hours afterwards. I'm on a pump now so a meal that may...

Nothing to say that will help. There are some people on here much more eloquent than me so I'm going to be clumsy. You are both in my prayers and thoughts tonight.

Hi, I eat vlc because I can control he roller coaster or actually just stay of it. My moods are much better. Mistakes are much safer. I am at the gym most mornings at 6. I do legs, arms, back, shoulders, chest weights split. I do 2 spin classes a week, 1 insanity class, 1 LesMills grit class and...

16-18 units of basal a day during work days. Upto 23 at the weekend because of increased DP due to eating more protein or if I skip the gym.

I'm on a pump but like you I eat low carb. Around 20g or less a day. insulin and eating high carb did not work for me and I consider myself to be good with numbers. My partner is type 2. He eats like me but on occasion does cheat. His bs have stayed within limits and normal - he uses a free...

I've heard it's sometimes caused by dehydration. Or if she is wearing synthetic clothing it may be causing a problem. If you are on Facebook there is a page called Dexcom where people discuss these types of problems.

Omg? My dad was a bare knuckle fighter in his youth. He was fit as a butchers dog. He didn't drink. He packed in smoking in 1975. He had a 32 inch waist. He did 100 press ups and sit-ups every night. More if he didn't like the look if his blood sugars. He followed the low fat diet he was told as...

I'm type 1 so slightly different experience controlling it. I love spin. Just take some quick acting sugar with you. I test every 15 minutes. If you test you may want to do at the start and half way through? When I first started I couldn't do all the moves like the standing up. You just keep on...

I started Hrt. Ended up on double the amount then had a horrendous 3 weeks were I felt I was due on permanently. I felt like a 15 yr old. I told my other half all I needed was a ****** rom com, pizza and a tub of Ben and Jerrys. And an unreqaintted (?) love to cry over. (Idris you'll do). I've...

Total daily dose between 20-25 units a day on low carb. I'm on a pump.

A starting point is work out how many g of protein. Divide by 2 then bolus as if it was that many carbs. Test to work out what then suits you. Also it can be a delayed spike. An omelette form exam be about 2 hours later so you have to keep an eye on it. Different protein will spike at different...

Beautiful response from Josephine. I wish I was as eloquent. My response was "I'll inject the toilets if you'll eat your meal in there. No, I didn't think so." My other favourite response is f. Off and grow up you ......... Head. I wish I had Josephine's communication skills. I'd probably...

@Oldvtr too late!!!

@Willow_14 it doesn't sound like you've given up because you've gone onto here. Now how type 1 is going to limit you? You can't join the armed forces, certain vehicles you can't drive.... Sounds like you are in year 9 or 10. Yr 9 is a strange one because you have to make probably the first...

Thanks for the link old art, interesting reading. This will probably be for at risk people I assume? ( I thought it was going to be an article on how test strips get everywhere. And how I found one in my sock. That's the biggest puzzle.)

Yep, I find my basal increases if I haven't exercised but I'm on a pump so changes are easy. If you are one injection a day it may be more of a faff. But I'd only increase it one unit at a time until it worked. Not much help I know if your seeing your nurse on Monday. By the time you've done...

The groups I'm in on Facebook are heavily subscribed. I enjoy reading posts on there and picking up information.
