Hey, Check out Dr. Ian Lake, he is a T1 diabetic doctor in the UK who runs half marathons on LCHF/Keto. He has a blog, google him and you should find it.

Nice on the BBQ, but sends me high so I avoid it!

So sad, children caught up in it! Devastating news... Heart goes out to all the families.

While I don't believe in the god piece, I do get where you are coming from. Chosen or not, in order for us diabetics to manage our condition we must take control of it and I think knowledge comes with that due to self testing, reading on the condition and nutrition and experience. It definitely...

Also, my doc advised me to take an Omega 3 supplement Unfortunately I don't live in the UK, so I can't advise on that or the cost in the UK. I am in Switzerland, everything costs more here so they are likely less than what I paid. I don't have the individual breakdown in front of me and I got...

Hi Speedbird, I know how you feel, the same thing happened to my cholesterol on a low carb and higher fat diet. Initially mine were even higher than yours, then very similar to your numbers and latest test left me at 7.3 TC, LDL 4.8, HDL 1.8 and TG 0.76. I too was very concerned about this, so...

Well done! It is a great feeling when you find the truth and then also put it into practice and realise that it works! After you get over the anger from being fed a pack of lies of course! :)

For me personally, to combat insulin resistance and achieve truly normal non-diabetic BG levels I get the best results when I: 1. Eat low carb <50g per day 2. Skip breakfast - so IF of 16-18 hours 3. Weight/resistance training for 30 mins in fasted state 4. Refuel after exercise with a low carb...

Hi, Have a look at this video from Dr. Bernstein. You mention your BS is good in the morning, but rising during the day. If you are just taking a high basal dose before bed and none in the morning, then this video might help. Dr. Bernstein doesn't believe that the basal insulins last as long as...

I have always stored my insulin in use and also unused insulin in the fridge, which is normally at 3-5 C Sometimes it can sting, but doesn't happen me very often. I also use 8mm, because I found that I lost more insulin when injecting using 5mm. I pinch the skin either in the area below the...

4.9 this morning at 07:15 Was 6.4 at 11pm last night, took 1 unit of Apidra to correct and usual Levimir dose of 2units before bed.

Hi, I split my Basal into two injections per day, therefore I take half before bed and half first thing in the morning. This works really well for me. Also, make sure your basal injection is in a fatty tissue area. We are advised to use our thighs, but in most ppl there is a lot more muscle in...

5.4 before bed and 5.4 this morning

Hi Sololite, I see myself as a T1, but I still have create some of my own insulin which was confirmed by a C-peptide test. That was three years ago now though. Anyway, some might consider me a 1.5 or LADA as I still create some insulin, but not enough to maintain what is considered normal blood...

Relevant to this thread, video below from Dr. Bernstein. In his 40+ years of seeing diabetic patients, he only ever came across two diabetics who also did not have psoriasis.

@CaptainKidd27 , head up and look forward not back! Yes what you did was careless and definitely not a good a idea for any period of time. However, if you continue to look back and beat yourself up it will increase your stress levels. You have made the wise decision to start taking your insulin...
