4.1 Very low carb (less than 15-20 grams per day).

An alternative to the GL diet is a ketogenic diet. I'm currently at around 10g carbs per day and my energy levels are fine.

Yes, you can reverse neuropathy and many other complications (but not diabetes itself). It depends upon on how much damage you have. Dr. Bernstien is the how-to. Basically, you need to maintain normal blood glucose (A1c < 4.7 and BG ~4.6) along with minimum insulin levels and insulin resistance...

3.9 FBG 7:59 am. I'm on a very low carb diet (~ 10g carbs per day). Type 2 diagnosed December 2013.

My last A1c was 4.5. I credit this to my very low carb diet.

I have had quite good results on a keto diet. My glucose now generally stays below 100 even for postprandial readings and my last A1c was 4.5. I also easily lost weight on it and have maintained a stable weight ever since. I also think that a keto diet does much more than just help control...

<theory and speculation> In theory being in ketosis requires low insulin, so if you were following Dr. Bernstien's protocol it may be possible to be in ketosis and type 1, but I don't think that it very relevant in that case. Note that nutritional ketosis is quite different than ketoacidosis...

That's correct and it is called physiological insulin resistance - a fancy word saying that your body has adjusted to burning fat, and your body will not be used to processing carbs. If I were not diabetic, I would test this, but since I am diabetic, I am quite reluctant to go off ketosis and...

It's great that you are trying this. I have also been on a low carb keto diet for almost two years. Around the one year mark, I saw a change where my glucose suddenly dropped into the 80s with spikes in the 90s. My A1c also dropped to 4.5. Since then I have remained stable, but I am still very...
