Hello Madam_teacup (great user name :)) . . . Your Post rings a bell with my previous experiences . . . I am T1 for 13 years. On a low-carb diet I was able to keep fairly good control over my levels, but I frequently got highs that I just could not understand. This was baffling and frustrating...

Hello Hooked, I totally agree. Hypos are dangerous things, unawareness of them even more dangerous. Wouldn't it be a fantastic thing if there was a style of managing T1 Diabetes that eliminated the possibility of these Hypos? Oh.

Hi . . . I realise that nobody bought into the topic on this thread a couple of months ago. But I just thought I would provide a couple of links in case some people are interested and may find it useful. I now have around 6 months of experience of living on the Ketogenic diet and can now...

Hi Mr moopf, I just read your Post and found it very uplifting. I feel for your boy, being diagnosed at a young age. But judging from your Post he is getting the best possible start in dealing with it. I feel that you are doing absolutely right by your son. The balance of minimal injections...

Thanks again to everbody for all your responses. :) I'm sorry to report that I now think my information about the magnesium was a red herring. Apologies for wasting people's time! :oops: Basically the answer to my question (Is there something in my diet that protects me from the effects of...

:o OK, let me try to explain better. I was a low-carber with decent control. I had annoying, occasional high readings that I wanted to eliminate. So I tinkered. One way that I tinkered was by slightly increasing my Basal, and decreasing my Rapid, just to see the effect. No effect. I upped the...

Re: Magnesium supplements Hi Finzi . . . Perhaps it was my Post that you read? If so . . . I can tell you that I take 2x250mg magnesium tablets each day, along with another multi-purpose tablet that also contains magnesium. Total of 750mg magnesium per day. (I am 66kg guy). As astralworld...

Hello, Thanks to all those that responded. Info is appreciated. I'd like anyone to know that my question remains open. If anybody stumbles across this thread in future, and has had similar experiences of very low blood sugars without any noticeable loss of function, especially in connection...

Hi carandol, Thanks for your suggestion. I'm as sure as I can be that the monitor is OK. When it first started happening I verified the measurements against another monitor. And of course there are plenty of normal, not low, measurements (using the same monitor). I just used this series of...

Hi all, I am a 38 year old guy, I have been T1 diabetic for 12 years. I just joined the forum because I have this specific question to ask: Does anybody else experience low blood-sugars WITHOUT problems? I frequently have series of days where my blood-sugar is below 3.0 on most of my 4 daily...
