Thanks very much for your story Mat, really interesting! My short stint at the Keto diet was very positive generally. My BG levels were incredibly stable, although generally a touch high. I’ve certainly not ruled anything out. I’ve always been one to decide what’s best for me rather than just...

Thanks very much for this! And @Resurgam I now see your point. I think I may have not explained myself very well in my original post. My team weren't implying that the diet was causing my weight loss as such. I was being very strict with myself, and I think to be honest they were more concerned...

I was on a very low carb / Keto diet. This was my first high carb meal in 5 weeks.

That's really lovely to read. Thank you. I do generally have a well rounded and relatively healthy diet, with the just occasional treat meal. I've actually taken a step back from the LCHF based on advice from my specialist nurse and dietician, so my guilt isn't really from that. I guess it just...

Ah sorry! I misread your post, thought you were new to low carb :). All the best,

Oooh, sounds good. Savoury things are my downfall, thankfully my brain has never latched on to sweet things much. Last night was a vegan BBQ jackfruit burger :p I'm making myself feel better about it all by putting it down as an insulin dosing experiment :)

Thanks! Thats what I needed to hear. Felt quite guilty this morning :happy:...

Cheers, yeah I've been searching and making contact with my usual favourite restaurants to see what info they have. Pretty shocking how many have no nutritional info at all.

Hello, I'm certainly no expert - but do a search for Keto flu. I've read some people say it doesn't exist, but I certainly felt awful for a few days when I started the LCHF/ Keto diet. Jx

Wouldn't say I fell off the wagon as such, but I certainly 'let loose' at the pub last night, at a special occasion with friends. I had quite an intense carbohydrate intake after a good 5 weeks on LCHF. Two beers, burger, fries - the lot. I probably could have had a little more NovoRapid but...

She does know her subject very well, she was incredibly informative and knowledgeable and a renowned expert in the area. I apologise if I implied otherwise. Her, and my dietitian simply suggested that a strict LCHF may not be suitable for me and they wouldn't recommend it long term at the levels...

Thank you, great to know it works for some people. I just don’t seem to be compatible with it. I was eating a lot of high fat food. Cheese all the time, and avocados, cream, nuts, full fat yoghurt. Obviously along will loads of fresh veg for nutrients. I felt like I was eating all the time...

Hello, I was originally misdiagnosed as Type 2, now officially Type 1 with Lantus & NovoRapid. When I had my original diagnosis 5 weeks ago, I immediately went onto a strict LCHF diet. This was amazing for my BG levels. However I was continually in Ketosis and loosing weight. This was after...

Ok thanks Scott. I understand the risks, and I’m certainly still learning. Not something I’m planning to do as such, I guess I just wanted to know if it was ever done.

Understood. Thanks both.

I’ve been taking 5HTP for about 10 years for OCD / anxiety. I’m newly diabetic, so can’t comment on what it does to BG levels but it’s been amazing in other areas of my life!

Hi everyone, New T1 here. I’m still learning about NovoRapid dosing, and am in contact with my diabetes specialist during the week but had a quick question if anyone can help? If my BG starts to quickly rise after a meal because I’ve underestimated carbs, is it worth taking a small dose an...

Brewdog don’t do a low carb beer. If you’re talking about Vagabond gluten free? The label is wrong. 15g per bottle.

Of course. I never was OTT on the carb even pre diabetes, but having had almost zero for the last month or so, just having a tiny bit is dreamy! :). Thank you.

Thank you :)
