For decades the science for low carb benefits has been available. Though the ones with the money and power (big food, big pharma) have constantly tried to suppress this. Resulting in the advice that a carb heavy diet is healthy and will reduce the risk of heart attacks, etc But today more and...

I've read the science, and the anecdotal tails. Ketosis burns the fat. But insulin counters the burn and stores fat. Being T1 I have to inject insulin, and I feel it's canceling out me being in ketosis. Its maddening. Being in ketosis has had other benefits, like lowered amount of insulin are...

I've not long finished listening to the entire The First Law by Joe Abercrombie read by Stephen Pacey. Utterly superb. It's a kind of medieval setting, with a smidge of magic. I guess in the GoT vein where it's not fantasy per-se but more real. Anyway, I've been wanting to listen to another...

Hi everyone, I'm and Insulin Dependent T2D and I've been very low carbing for about 4 weeks now. The great news is how much less Insulin I now take. For an evening meal I used to take anywhere between 20-30 units of Humalog, and now I'm around 10 or fewer units. Which is fab. And my BG readings...

Hi gang, My name is Andrew and I'm a T1D. Starting as a T2 11 years ago I finally upgrade to full T1 status about 1 year ago. I'm new to these forums, but not new to diabetes. My goal on these forums is to chat to some good peeps, and see if I can help others. My actual current goal is a...
