    Keto and Dawn Phenomenon!

    Haha! Diabetic weirdos unite! The rush feels similar to a hypo for me so it freaked me out at first - it became more noticeable when I went low carb and now even more so since going carnivore. It's frustrating because I'd want to be taking as little insulin as possible. What are your ratios like...

    Fasted Cardio

    Hi Miss90, I will briskly walk or run at an aerobic pace fasted in the morning. I have to take 1-2 units of insulin to cover the BG rise...I think the combination of having just woken and then exercising releases more cortisol. If I do any anaerobic exercise - sprints/HIIT/weights - I try my...

    Keto and Dawn Phenomenon!

    I suffer from DP too. I wake (5.30-6.30) with BG in range and take 2 units to cover the rise (I can feel the effect of cortisol rushing through my body)! - an extra unit if I go for a run, which I always do fasted as I find it limits chances of a hypo. I also have to take a higher ratio of...

    Carnivore Diet

    Ooooo, I didn't realise that! And it makes total sense to use different insulins for different effects. Your HbA1c is incredible!

    Carnivore Diet

    Thanks for replying. Perhaps I should change insulin, I'm on Humalog and think that it peaks too quickly. I've been T1 for 20 years but have been coasting/ignoring for so long, I feel like I'm starting from scratch! I dream of flat BGs like that - one day! ;) I think I've developed some...

    Carnivore Diet

    Yes, that's exactly it! It's definitely not as extreme a spike as a carb-induced one but more than I'm comfortable with. That's useful to know about the increase in fats - thanks! And I'm on day 3 of going carnivore...hoping it will end cravings.

    Carnivore Diet

    Thanks! That's the ratio I've been working to however, my BG spikes a few hours after eating - perhaps a response to the protein? Have you come across people splitting their insulin dose to manage this? It's a high fat diet, for sure, I guess I meant that it's such an increase in protein for me.

    Carnivore Diet

    For those following a carnivore diet, How do you Inject insulin for the protein? And how much does the high amount of protein affect your BG? Thanks
