Hi everyone, I am a T1D myself for nearly 4 years (since 16 yrs old) and I’m still learning about what insulin really does the body in depth/scientific terms. I know the basics and the ins and out as I have to inject novarapid as well as my lantus daily and I don’t really have any problems...

Good morning I’m type 1 diabetic. I’ve heard lots about the keto diet helping diabetics but this seems to be mainly type 2 diabetics. I’m wondering if any type 1 diabetics have tried the keto diet? I know your body goes into a state of ketosis (not ketoacidosis which I know to be dangerous)...

Hi there, just a quick one. I had this chronic LSN (Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy) with irritating cough after certain foods. I tried to eliminate Lactose and it did improve somehow not completely gone though. I could never figure out what exacerbated it all those 10 years. However, after...

This is interesting. I posted earlier here that my WBCs went down from 7 to 5 after starting low-carb and below chart confirms that. Its interesting to see some other lab results. I see though the thyroid functions went high after a high-protein diet a little? What's your experience ?

I’ve been eating strictly Keto for the past four months & seeing changes in my weight & glucose levels. But my concern is, following KETO diet is super hard & feels like hell. How to overcome it?

I've been looking into doing the Slimfast 7 day plan but doing it longer term, only issue really is that everyone says there's basically zero variety and I'd prefer keto, I've been thinking of doing 1 Atkins bar 1 Keto Shake for breakfast same for lunch, then chicken breast with veg and bacon...

About 2 years ago I started restricting carbs to around 100g per day. Diabetes symptoms improved, but did not go away. For example, I was still fatigued and had difficulties concentrating. So about a year ago decided to try keto diet, but dropped out about 4 times. Once because I was eating 3...

Has anyone else tried the keto diet?, I’ve lost over 50 lbs but blood sugar readings still high even after the dawn phenomenon, after 5 months I thought I would reverse my type 2 diabetes.

Hi! I'm new to posting here, been type 1 on insulin for over 20 years. I'm looking for advice. I started following a low carb diet about 1 month ago which is fantastic during the day - very few hypos. However despite repeatedly reducing my dose of background insulin and now taking NO lantus at...

I've been doing keto since mid January and have been pretty strict with it. At first the weight fell off, I lost over a stone in 5 weeks but since then I've had a month long stall. I can't think why (apart from hormones as my periods have stopped). I'm eating less than 1400 cals a day (242 lbs...
