Hi doing my first Ironman in June and just wondering if there's any T1 triathletes on here able to give some race day nutrition advice. Training is going really well and definitely seeing the benefits of being fat adapted but I don't think it's going to be possible to do a 70.3 Ironman without...

Hi can anybody point me in the right direction of any professional papers/articles on T1 diabetes and ketogenic diets written by diabetic specialists or the sort please? Cheers

Just been searching for an explanation of what ketone levels do after exercise as I'm still a bit unsure. My levels tend to rise a few hours after exercise and then drop off again. For some reason I felt this was wrong but having read into it, it seems like it's right? This is the post I read...

Hi I posted this on another group on last week and had a reply from a guy that's seems to me to be quite negative about lchf and would be interested in your views? There's plenty of people on here I know could put up a better argument than me (in an educated way anyway!) The guys name is (name...

Just wondering where people are buying mct oil from. I already use coconut oil but want to try 100% mct. Anywhere on the high street? Cheers

So I've been lchf for just over 2 months now, seen the weight loss and much improved bs and hba1c. But the 2 main problems that I'm facing now are: 1. A niggling headache, not painful but kinda just there? 2. Feel quite lethargic and not getting the full of energy feeling people talk about...

Hi as per my last post I'm feeling very ill at the moment (sore throat, ear ache, sweating profusely but shivering and headache) ketone levels have been around 2 for last couple of days but is now 4.9! My bs is 8 (which is higher than normal due to illness) but am very concerned about ketone...

Been a bit poorly last 2 days, sore throat, ear ache, sweating profusely but shivering. Not good but my ketone levels are great! 2.1 this morning! Does illness push levels up at all?

Hi interested to see if any if the 'athletes' on here take any sports supplements aimed at people on lchf diet? Seen KetoCaNa on the Web but is really expensive and I don't think is available in the UK.

Hi I've just been onto my fitness pal to enter my last meal and I noticed that my remaining amount of protein for the day is too high. I work on 80% fat, 5% carbs and 15% protein (which equates to 94g per day) but today it's saying I need 152g. Now I've just realised that my new garmin watch has...

Hi guys Had above normal sugars for a couple of days now (normally 5-6 but have been around 9-11) it's almost as tho the insulin isn't responding even when I do correction doses? Diets been pretty good, in ketosis etc. Any ideas? Ta

Hi all, so the proverbial hit the fan at work today and have been pretty stressed out all day. Just checked my Ketones and it gone from 1.7 yesterday to 0.3! Ahhhhh!! Could this be the stress? Sugars are fine by the way. Cheers

Hi Just wondering if anyone drinks Celebes Coconut Water or any recommendations on any other brands? Cheers

Hi all I've just completed my weekly 1/2 marathon run and pretty much had to drag myself along for the last 4 miles due to getting a headache and stomach ache? I've never felt like this whilst running before. My sugars this morning before the run were 8.0 (this is also slightly high for me...

Hi sorry once again for asking the same question regarding ketosis but I'm not fully understanding what's happening with my ketone readings. Yesterday my readings were 0.7 at 7.30am and rose to 2.2 at 6pm after an hours running. Today they've stayed at 0.7 all day? My levels only seem to go into...

I installed the MyfitnessPal app last night and it's an absolutely fantastic and easy way to keep track what you are eating. It shows carbs, fats, protein and also all the other nutritional info you need. A very handy part of this app allows you to set nutritional daily goals or targets to make...

Hi all. I'm having trouble getting into optimal ketosis levels. I've been recording my daily intakes over the last week and they are <30g carbs, 200g fat and 120g protein. My ketone reading in the morning is normally 0.5 but will almost certainly rise to around 2.0 once I've been for a run/ride...

Strange one this! My coconut oil seams to be disappearing rather fast. I do eat it regularly but it does actually seem to be going down faster than I'm eating it?? Spooky

Hi all, thought I'd break down my diet today to see exactly what I'm eating. It's gone as follows: Carbs = 12.8g Protein = 122g Fat = 195g so far. Looking at these figures this is almost bang on to recommended intakes for my lifestyle but obviously I've had to bolus for half the protein which...

Hi all I've read that some T1s only bolus for protein when the meal they are eating also contains carbs. Just wondering what you guys do? Ta
