keto

Hi I'm a Newbie to this group so apologies if there is an obvious place for this question. I've started following the "Keto Plan" and I'm happy enough in what I can and cannot eat, and roughly in what proportions. Over two weeks my bloods have stabilised from round 8.00 to around 5.50 mmol/L...

Hi I’m new here! I’m type 1 diabetic, diagnosed several months ago and I have just got back my second HbA1C result and it’s 5.5% and I was told that it’s too low… curious to know if other T1D have been told the same? Also just to add that I eat a plant-based diet which is high in carbs...

Hi all, I have recently in the past month gradually reduced my carbs whilst doing time restricted eating between 16-21 hours a a day. I have had a couple of non fast days. It took almost three weeks to see an improvement in my glucose levels but once I saw it I was delighted. I have now just...

I have started the Michael Mosely Fast 800 Keto diet . 3 weeks in and I have lost 16lb. I can’t get an appointment with my diabetic nurse until 21st but should I have stopped taking my canagliflozin? 1x100mg taken in the morning. I also take Metformin MR 500mg. 4 a day - 1, 1, and 2 at night.

So I saw Neurologist yesterday around Muscle Aches and Tingles in Legs and Arms and restless legs etc and upon examination and diet he advised that I am suffering from Insulin Neuritis AKA Treatment induced neuropathy and basically claimed that these symptoms present when the body has to adjust...

What is the keto diet and how does it work for weight loss and overall health? Does it have any relation to diabetes?

I asked him if I could post his video. I think this is great as a fun elevator pitch for what to expect and how to do it.

I just found that M&S no longer have their "Super Seed Crackers" on the shelves in my local stores, they have been missing for 2 weeks and they can't say if or when they will be back. I will sorely miss those little blighters as they don't affect my BS or weight at all.

I found this brilliant forum after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis in December 2017. The forum members helped and guided me back to good health in a short space of time. Forever grateful. So i recently decided to make this video sharing exactly how I put my type 2 into reverse and also lost over...

Guys, I’d like to have your opinion about an issue I am facing. I am on a keto diet for 9 weeks with great results on my general hunger. I don’t need to crave food at all during my 2 daily meals. Though, once I start eating I don’t feel satiated, I tend to overeat quite a bit. I can easily eat...

I will be forever grateful to all the forum members on here who guided me back to good health. Too many to mention and I don't want to leave anyone out so will just say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone. You know who you are. You do such an amazing job of helping and supporting.....and so much...

Sound advice from Amy Berger at Tuit Nutrition - Keto Without the Crazy:

Only a minority of Type 2 diabetics (TOFI's like me) will encounter this situation when they try a Low Carb or Keto 'way of eating'. At first I thought you had to be really lean (not just not overweight) and really fit in order to fall into this category, but apparently the cut off is a BMI of...

I was diagnosed with T2D a couple of weeks ago. I've met with a diabetes nurse twice who has put me onto metformin. At the moment I'm on 500mg in the morning only, working up to 500mg in the evening as well. My first instinct was to get onto a ketogenic diet, as I have had success with this in...

Hi all. My father died in the first Covid lockdown and I lost my mind for quite awhile. I also had to teach a performance art subject online for 15 months. It was horrible. I literally had just become non-diabetic - reached that range - before my dad died, and then stopped caring about...

A keto diet is an eating plan that focuses on foods that provide a lot of healthful fats, adequate amounts of protein, and very few carbohydrates. The goal is to get more calories from fat than from carbs. The diet works by depleting the body of its sugar reserves. As a result, it will start to...

Hi everyone My name's David and I type one diabetic and have been for 20 plus years. I'm on Nova rapid and levemir insulin and use a freestyle Libra 2 cgm. I've wanted to lose weight so I decided to start a low carb diet or keto. I lost 10lb in water weight Which I was so pleased with but...

My blood results are back. My WBC gone down to 5 from 6.5, still low normal range was bit anxious and did some Googling. Here is an interesting thread that i found https://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains/comments/offyfn/the_results_dont_lie_more_protein_and_strength/ So anyone of you who has been...

I started a Keto diet 10 days ago. So far I have advanced 1 belt loop (in the right direction) but I have not lost any weight. I use Ketosis test strips which have shown me to be at the high ketosis end of the scale since day 3. Why am I not losing weight? My diet ingredients are pretty bland...
