I should point out that those Type 1 diabetics did prepare for those long distance feats especially eating low carb/keto for long enough to become 'fat adapted'. They just did those things in order to show that it isn't inherently dangerous for diabetics, even a T1D to exercise in a state of...

Hi @RAM1306 and welcome to the forum. Are you asking about a particular marathon, or a competitive marathon in general, or just completing the marathon distance in the allowed time? Several Type 1 diabetics on a keto/low carb way of eating have taken part in long distance evens while running in...

From X (or Twitter as I still call it): (link: https://x.com/AKoutnik/status/1797636130281787396) Would more time in tight range (70-140mg/dL) versus time in range (70-180mg/dL) be associated with fewer complications? https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-024-06171-y… New data say...

@johnbalc If you admit that diet may be a culprit (even partially) then you should take a look at how many (net) carbohydrates you eat this for- both in each meal and also in a day. (Digestible) Carbs digest into glucose quite quickly, some start doing that a soon as they meet the saliva in...

Not sure my experience is relevant since I did both LCHPHF and Intermittent fasting (2 meals per day/ 1 meal per day) in order to lower my BG rather than to lose weight, since I was TOFI (thin outside fat inside). Like @catinahat I fell into Intermittent Fasting naturally fust by getting fat...

Hi @lcarter I hope that a member who is Type2 but on insulin will come along to answer your questions. Meanwhile I (a diet controlled Type 2) will give you my (limited) understanding of it all. Firstly a few words of your post seem to be missing. I think you are asking is why injected insulin...

Since you need an HbA1C below 69 for your surgery (and I presume your GP knows that). Then I would expect them to have done an HbA1C again even though it has been less than 2 months since the last. Tests are not usually done less than around 3 months apart since the result is an average over the...

I would just like to encourage people to think about nominating others or themselves. We are currently a small team of 6 (for a 24hr Forum) we only have 2 mods in the Southern Hemisphere and only one Type 1 (who happens to be in NZ).

From what I've heard in this more and other main UK diabetes forums: Vegetarian LCHF isn't that difficult, depending upon which sort of vegetarian (e.g. eggs, dairy), but vegan is much more difficult.

Nick Norwitz addresses Low Carb Diet Data DISTORTION in published '3 keto bashing Studies'

Very sorry to hear you have doubts about the next aniversary.

Just going Low Carb High Protein Higher (than currently recommended) Fat, Raised my HDL and lowered my Triglycerides. But I'm an omnivore!

Your understanding is the same as mine. Though there seem to be some people who disagree. DKA is usually a potential problem for Type 1's rather than Type 2's, however I note that you are on Insulin like a Type 1 would be. Fortunately there are quite a few Type 1's who thrive on a keto diet...

I do not normally read any chat threads and don't often read general 'food threads', I'm not a sociable person, so I very rarely chat, thus am probably not the best to answer this. Also, I don't want to pick on any one person since it isn't just one. "What have you eaten today" is about just...

Ok guys, once again please cut the chat, please stick to what you’ve eaten, photos are great! Any other chat please take to the parallel thread. It did improve greatly & thank you for that, but it’s slipping back again. Going forward, anything more than what you’ve eaten and a sentence or two...

I'm a Type 2 in remission but feel my experience of eating low/very low carb may be relevant here. Breakfast should be no problem: Kippers (smoked fish), Cheese, or Eggs (boiled, fried, poached, scrambled or an omelet with mushrooms, herbs, cheese) all virtually zero carbs - just don't add...

Do you have any hard evidence that this product is actually promoted by Dr Michael Moseley (who is a reputable medical journalist currently giving talks on dangers of UPFs and advantages of Low Carb)? It's inconceivable to me that he would promote this when he already has his income stream from...

Joint pain could raise your blood glucose, as can stress, lack of sleep, injury, illness, statins, steroids and about 40 other things.

While the food that a Type 2 diabetic eats is the main contributor to high Blood Glucose, it is a long way from being the only one. Sleep, stress, statins, steroids, exercise, the weather, illness, injury time of day , etc. It's almost impossible to reduce dietary carbs to zero, and may cause...

Article in Journal of Renal Nutrition cites 20 references agreeing with what Dr David Unwin GP found in his own T2Diabetic patients on LCHF. Low carb may have utility in kidney disease: "Results of a single-center randomized controlled trial addressing the rate of CKD progression revealed a 57%...
