    Fingers crossed. I've been allowed to work from home but my other half can't at present. Let's hope the related death toll is as low as possible.

    Type 1 Switching to Keto

    Thanks a lot, that's such a small amount of insulin. Yeah, hopefully they will give me the help and advice I need. They have a been great in the past with other things. How do you cope with cravings for carbs or how long did it take for the cravings to go away? Thanks a lot.
