You can 'ave some of mine if you like. At cost ;)

Gastroparesis can be a complication of Diabetes (although non Diabetics also suffer with this condition). Do you think that your Gp was caused by your T2?

You are right in that everyone has choices. Here are mine, I intend to use LCHF unless or until it stops being enough to manage my Diabetes well. Having read about the various drug treatments on offer including insulin and weighed up the risks to benefits I am sticking to the 'treatment' that...

Your blood glucose level is normal so you are not suffering hypoglycaemia. As to false hypo plus other symptoms... please see your health care professionals as these symptoms could fit a myriad of conditions.

I am teetotal so I've never tested with booze.

I think you're gonna need more strips. Booze delays carb absorption which testing more would have shown you. Because alcohol is a toxin the liver will deal with that first. You may also have been having liver dumps inbetween times. Get yourself a food diary and start systematically testing...

Ketones are metabolites. Basically, in the absence of or near absence of carbohydrates the body will get its energy from fats, either the stores of body fat or ingested fat. As fat has little to no affect on blood glucose levels then many people adopt a Ketogenic lifestyle to try to put their...

Hello and welcome to the forum. Could you give us a little more information, please. It would help us to give you appropriate advice and support if you could tell us what, if any, medications you are taking and what your day to day diet consists of. We may be able to help you tweak your diet...

Would this pain be in the area of your kidneys? Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Hello and welcome. In short, yes. Higher blood glucose levels can cause fatigue. My advice would be to revisit your diet and see if there is something there that is hindering your improvement. Could you tell us what you eat in a typical day, please. And what, if any, medications you take.

Smashing job, well done!

Which is exactly why I asked upthread for the definition of excess. You will be aware that as we age esp after 50 the efficiency of protein metabolisation diminishes therefore we may need more not less. If the OPs goal is ketosis then it must be remembered that this cannot happen without gng. I...

I argue against it being a problem of less than 1.0mmol in this case. If people are scared of fat esp sat fat and are scared of carbs and then scared of excess protein what might they ask themselves? What the blummin' eck Can I Eat? Sarcopaenia may not worry some but it worries me more than a...

I meant the quantities. As you know there are those who follow a fully carnivore diet and as far as I know they do not suffer an excess of protein or galloping gng.

Define excess protein. Also not a fan of sat fat = IR.

I am not absolutely convinced that protein taken in the evening can have an affect, what?, 12 hours later. If you are thinking gluconeogenesis then gng is demand driven not supply driven.

Winner!

This is not dietary advice per se but while taking a SGLT2 inhibitor a diet that is Ketogenic or very low in carbohydrates is contraindicated specifically because of the risk of DKA.

All that hard work really did pay off. What can't speak can't lie. You're a star!

Thank you.
