Usually when I'm running around at work. I start work at 4pm too so it's an awkward time in the day we'll after lunch I don't know much about the dexcom. Ive heard it's better but the NHS supply the libre for me

You are closer to normal than me -despite my good results I would imagine its closer to normal.. the better!

They don't know. The bloods were done privately for a separate reason. Maybe it is a bit low

I'm low carb so I'm also low insulin. However I do still get hypos, maybe 3 or 4 times a week

Low carb eater btw, and libre 2 sensor for help. I'm pretty strict with it all (health wise) but then again I drink far too much whiskey :woot:

Pretty good???

What are the work purposes? If you don't mind me asking

It's because they more than double their calorie intake in a short space of time. As I understand the body will raise insulin for anything More over, Western universities are very Lefty-leaning and the author is probably a vegan The Massai have lived that way for thousands of years. You're...

Just out of curiosity, how little would it take for you to end up in hospital for example would something like a slice of toast skipping insulin be enough to put you in real trouble? I'm curious about what tolerances to expect. I know that I can handle a few cups of tea without worrying too...

Exactly the same situation as me Notice how @Katiel1 did it to lower her Hb1ac, you are doing it for weightloss, and I am doing it to avoid insulin resistance So many birds.....with only one stone ;) The ketones made me worry too but it's just our body burning the excess fat caused by carbs...

Okay. If you really believe restricting carbs isn't beneficial for diabetics then I don't know what else to say. You're entitled to your opinion as am I Yeah I know it sounds crazy. I got that info from this seminar below. The Professor at some point mentions how people can grow "livers down...

My guess is that you're on a high carb diet and your liver has a ton of glycogen stored for contingency It's my understanding there is no limit to the amount of glycogen the liver can store and some people have obscenely large reserves On the flip side. If you have no glycogen stored, this...

Yep. Reduction in belly, liver fat & reversal of insulin resistance was my intention.... and it was working. Sure, only urine testing - but the rise in ketones was a concern to me. But if you think it's okay, then I guess that's a bit encouraging to go even lower on the carbs/insulin because...

@Jaylee @oldgreymare I read a science journal suggesting Type 1's can't maintain "beneficial Ketosis" because of a negative feedback loop from such small insulin levels will mean no energy can enter the cells (or something like that) and this will eventually become dangerous. So I chickened out...

Hi guys.here is my update: Some of this is dangerous so please understand the risks involved. It's been interesting though! I've been almost zero carb for a week. I've had amazing weight loss, perfectly controlled blood levels, increased insulin sensitivity (only requiring about 4 or 5 units of...

Sorry but I think you're wrong Insulin is literally a fat storing hormone. When you cut carbs, you cut the need for insulin, and cut into fat instead. It's my understanding.... Type 1's are underweight at diagnoses (no insulin to store fat) Type 2's are overweight at diagnoses (too much fat...

Gonna drop this info here in case anyone runs into the same problem https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-carb-and-weight-loss-type1.html Less insulin intake, improved weight management A good rule of thumb is that the more units of insulin you take per day, the more likely you are to put on...

Insulin Resistance can certainly happen in Type 1's. I think they call it "double diabetes", which is what I'm afraid of. Think about it... if my blood is perfect, then technically I like a normal person and susceptible to everything normal people are susceptible to. In fact I already have...

I know this might sound crazy but with my blood so well controlled I'm starting to get negatives like weight gain and in particular Abdominal Obesity (or beer belly) -probably as a side of effect of healthy control and so much insulin in the blood I'm worried if this carries on I might develop...

For years I had symptoms of TOO MUCH natural insulin. A symptom still largely unexplained but told anecdotally by some Type 1's. I would get hypo's despite NOT being diabetic or taking any medication Then I started to get the opposite problem (symptoms of TOO LITTLE insulin) Thrush, frequent...
