I would rather have sore fingers than not be able to feel them.....

:D:D:D

I had a headache for the first few days and was in the bathroom constantly. I do believe that I was dehydrated from the constant peeing. Things balanced out after a few days, both the headache and the constant bathroom trips stopped and all has been good for the last year. Keeping your carb...

I change them when they begin to hurt, every couple of weeks. Never had an infection and I am immune compromised.

You are also asking about this diet establishing insulin production. Most T2's actually produce far too much insulin until very late in the game. High insulin levels are as damaging as high glucose levels. Unless you have been tested and know your insulin production is low then assuming your...

Just a thought but have you been tested for coeliac disease? These can all be symptoms and if you are type 1 you are at higher risk for it.

I too fell off the rails due to life, just life..... I had started back on low carb many times but it never stuck more than a few days. My wake up call was losing the feeling in my foot and then discovering blood sugars in the 20's. I had felt just fine. I have been back on track for a year...

Hi, hang in there, I am very low carb and also coeliac which on the surface seems very compatible. I have discovered just how many low carb foods have gluten in them. Soya sauce, baking powder, spice blends, really? The only way to make this way of eating sustainable is to be creative which does...

Men also tend to lose weight easier than women. It is not true for all as we are truly all unique but women tend to have a harder time. It is most likely hormones and a smaller muscle mass. Having the odd very low calorie or fasting day can help with weight loss but I have found personally that...

If you have never taken metformin before I would suggest you wait to start until after your bike race. Some people get explosive and frequent digestive issues at first and that would be beyond terrible while riding a bike all day. Not all people have this but I would not take the chance...

Welcome to the forum :D

I am also very low carb and use my meter to determine what I can handle and what I cannot. I keep my blood sugar between 4 and 7 about 99% of the time. If my sugars go higher than that I don't eat that particular food again. It takes time and testing to figure out what works for you, that is...

Just be aware that fat in the ABSENCE of carbs does not cause weight gain. If you are eating fat freely and are still too high in carbs you will most likely gain weight. The level of carbs is different for each person. Personally beans other than green beans are way too high carb for me. Your...

Fathead pizza crust makes excellent bread and even more excellent pizza.

That life expectancy includes infant mortality and death in childbirth which were both very high. With no modern medicines, infection often killed. Saying they all died in their thirties because of diet is incorrect.

I was running blood sugars in the mid 20's with no symptoms. It was caught when the toes on my right foot went numb. My HBA1c was 10.4 which is lower than yours. Please take this seriously. With a number that high you could be spiking close to 30 after meals and that will cause damage. The...

I think you will have to work with your health team to try and find a lower carb formula unless you are able to have pureed foods. Unfortunately most of those formulas are based on starch and loaded with sugar but there are some higher protein ones. You are really in a hard place as you only...

Paleo means eating what paleolithic people are thought to have eaten. It is not no carb. Ketogenic diets are very low carb but also not no carb for the most part. Completely eliminating carbs is doable but very hard for most people. Keeping some dairy and the low carb veggies allows for a lot...

It is difficult to say where you are headed with your tests without knowing where you are coming from. It would help to know what your HBA1c and cholesterol numbers were in December or whenever the last test were before this.
