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...

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...

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...

Hi all, Just a quick post as I had my very first insulin shot this morning. Lantus (Solostar), small dose of 6 units. For anyone anxious about doing it like I was: I literally didn't feel a thing. I injected into my abdomen, and it was very easy. I followed this with my first carbohydrate...

Hi all, Check out my BG levels since I started LCHF, the trend is still dropping which is amazing - obviously I will keep an eye out for them dropping too much. I'm refusing meds for now, to see what I can do with diet and lifestyle alone. My type is still unconfirmed. Could it still be Type 1...

Hi all, Been on LCHF since my diagnosis a couple of weeks ago, and it’s doing amazing things for my BG levels - I’m now a consistent mid 5 with mid/high 6 after meals. And the trend is still dropping. My problem is that one of my most concerning symptoms at diagnosis was weight loss - 8kg in...

Hi all, Was diagnosed a week ago based on symptoms (weight loss, frequency, thirst) as well as high urine glucose and keytone. A year previously I’d had a 6.1 A1C so was warned to keep an eye on it. Only just had my recent A1C through and it’s 10.9 :(. Since my diagnosis last week I’ve been...
