@AloeSvea you are absolutely correct, my answer is over simplification to ease Francis into understanding the LCHF mindset. Ketones and Ketosis can be a complicated subject for anyone new. Just as I described Gluconeogenesis at the same time as the body breaks down the fat cells called...

Hi @Francis faulkner as others have already said you need to take into account any medication you are on, but perhaps I can help you navigate how food effects you. Your body runs of sugar, every thing you eat it will try to turn in to glycose to power the body. :bookworm: There are 3 basic...

A wise man once said..... Why are you still going on about this? :bag:

No matter how much you want me to be wrong. If someone with diabetes is having a hypo and is conscious, they should initially treat a hypo with 15-20g of fast acting sugary food or drink, such as: 5 glucose tablets 150 to 200ml of a sugary fizzy drink (eg full sugar cola or lemonade) 4 to 5...
