Hi all, So l have been type 1 diabetic for 4 years and low carber (no bread pasta pots rice, beans, legumes, or cooked starchy veg) and always had great control. Over the past year my background insulin of 25 has gone up to 60 (yes severely insulin resistant), my health was incredibly bad and l...

hi, I keep getting constantly recurrimg ketones. I get rid of them, then it seems when l have a high blood sugar they come back- l wonder if its due to being so dehydrated and the high BS makes me even more dehydrated=ketones. I have been low carb for 3 years with very good control but due to...

Hi, Ever since last year l have been getting an electic shock like pain in my thigh- it only occurs every once in a while but not very nice at all. After looking on the internet it seems to be associated to the nervous system and may be linked to diabetes? Has anyone had anything similar or can...

I think l have had my first (known liver dump)- l have started going to Bikram Yoga (amazing!!!!) and think my BS was not high enough when l went in so l assume l had a liver dump as it was nearly 8 when l cam out. Dropped to 5.3 at bed time and was up to just over 6 the next morning- so l may...
