Maybe you need to reduced your basal more? How many carbs are you typically eating in a day? How are you feeling 3 months in? I feel great already but I know it’s early days.

Yeah I’m newly diagnosed, I’m hoping it stays this low as long as possible. Hopefully this diet will help! I will check out Ian lake! Thanks. Yeah I haven’t been able to find Bernstein saying much on ketones either. My ketones went up to 1.4 today and actually panicked a little even though I...

What level should you correct bs on a low carb diet? Over 7 too high?

Aw @Mel dCP ! Was hoping you would chip in actually! :) I think you might be my new favourite person/ God/ fountain of all knowledge on this (too much?) [emoji1323] Thanks! Very interesting to know about electrolytes. Will be sure to do that. Maybe using Epsom salt baths would help also? Help...

Hey, @Darion89. I am in same boat as you although a couple of months ahead as diagnosed in Feb (aged 28!). Feel and experiencing what you have described above. It’s nice to have this forum to discuss this massive life change. It’s been a rough few months! I too had symptoms for about a year...

Thanks a lot! I will have a look at that forum too! :)

Hello everyone. Hope you don’t mind if I pick your brains a little! I don’t know anyone with type 1 and I’m recently diagnosed (feb). Have asked my DN for Keto diet advise and she just said don’t do it basically as not enough research but I can’t manage with the crazy carb insulin rollercoaster...

Haha great! I managed 5s all day for once thanks to sticking to low carb meals for a full day[emoji123] [emoji1323] time for a gin and tonic to celebrate! Slime line of course ...

Anyone know some good low carb smoothie recipes?

Aw don’t stress. I think the point is there is lots of ways to manage this. If you eat healthy and workout a bit, your body will decide what numbers work for you. Keep doing what you doing. Play around with insulin slightly yourself to see what numbers you settle at. Everyone is different so you...

Yeah I think so.. I’ve been told I’m not eating enough carbs and not to do low carb diet as could develop ketones as body turns to burning fat for energy.. and if then have high sugars I can’t risk DKA again.. what do you think? It’s so confusing as so much different advice. All I know is I have...

Aw thanks! My DN told me that when was last in so it’s good to hear from you- someone who’s reduced carbs and how it actually works. :)

The advice, care and treatment we all get does seem to vary a lot depending on location doesn’t it. I was originally on 5 fast acting three times a day and I adapted from there. I didn’t eat that much carbs before either, and still don’t now. I am struggling with the set dinner times as I used...

Hey, I too am in the honeymoon period, being diagnosed in Feb. My long acting insulin started at 13 then I’ve been slowly reducing it to keep BS from going too low. I seem to be reducing it each week, sometimes making a slight change daily and watching how I react. I am currently on 5 lantus...

Ive had a nightmare few days in this heat too. Did same as you, halved ratio and still managed to near kill myself ha Blood sugar was 8.8 when decided to cut the grass yesterday. Thought would be plain sailing . 15 mins in and sweating, went in for a drink and checked BS and it was.... 2...

I’m type 1 and had the pleasure of a taxi man arguing that his mate reversed type 1 completely by traveling to turkey and a doctor treating him with some saffron concoction for a month.. now he’s ‘cured’ and I should apparently ‘sort it out and google it’ as I’m ‘uneducated’. No bother mate...

Aw thanks! So much great information. I eat a very healthy diet and do a lot of walking and some weights. I’m taking folic acid as I haven’t had kids yet and I’m planning on having them as soon as I get the go ahead from the nurse. At the moment my numbers are too out. Thanks for all your...

Aw thanks USER=472744]@Alison54321[/USER] and @Fairygodmother. Great advice. Im currently taking folic acid, b complex and vitamin d but not high strength yet. Will add vitamin c and magnesium. I know this might sound silly, but would you recommend wearing circulation socks early on or is that...

I’m recently diagnosed and was wondering what supplements I could be taking to help me be as healthy as possible from the start. I’ve read about vitamin d3 and flax seed oil but wanted to hear what everyone else is doing and what results they’ve had. Thanks

I had seriously dark circles under my eyes and bad stomach problems for about a year before was diagnosed. Thought had a stomach ulcer actually and doctor was giving me omeperzol for it. So I think you might be right!
