Should I be worried about Ketoacidosis? I have average readings of 14.0 last few weeks with spikes up to 18.0. Ketone levels, measured with blood test strips, are currently at 2.6. I am seeing the endocrinologist in two weeks but just wondering if I need to see someone before then. Hba1c...

Hi I have always doubted my diagnosis of type two, perhaps out of denial and with little evidence, and thought it would be useful to get a ketone meter to try and get a better understanding of what's going on inside my body. The meter arrived today and I tested my ketones after very very bad...

I think I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to protein and am trying to put a figure on how much I can tolerate in a meal. I know a lot of people have a rough idea of their carb tolerance but does anyone know their protein tolerance? Be interesting to hear from other super protein...

Hi all I'm currently 69kgs 5'7" and love running. I don't like the body shape of runners and with lchf this is exactly the shape I'm taking. I struggle to keep my glucose levels in range and any deviation from lchf sends them through the roof. I am probably not eating enough, although not...

In my attempt to learn as much as I can about diabetes I have come across Dr Fungs work and am enjoying the level he is pitching at as he is helping me understand a complex subject. I am having trouble with one area though. With his model of the cells, mostly of the liver, being like a balloon...

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed last Friday with type 2 and my levels in the surgery were over 20 mmol/l. I immediately started taking metoformin and reduced my carb intake to less than 100g per day and my levels dropped to about 12 mmol/l over the weekend. My question is how long does it take to...
