Posted this on another site and it got closed due to medical advice. I will see a doc and I'm not looking for medical advice. Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Sorry if this is TMI but wanted to see if there are others. Been on keto since end of march and my periods...

Today (3 July 2020) marks the second anniversary of me going Keto. Thank you to everyone here who has helped me along the way! :) On my first anniversary I published a document titled My Low Carb Journey Back to Health and soon thereafter Practical Tips for Following a Low Carb or Ketogenic...

Hi Folks, Yeah, I’m asking the hive mind for help. I have a suspicion something’s wrong, but I don’t know quite what yet. So I want to pick your brains, if that’s okay. So there’s a few things going on, and while I know they’re not directly diabetes-related, they do involve diet. And no-one...

Hi! I have been living with reactive hypoglycemia for two years although I do not have diabetes which I know is quite rare. Anyway I just wanted to share that for the last six months and after a lot of hard work I have been symptom free. I wanted to share the blog site I put together documenting...

I have prediabetes and I've been on keto for about 6 months now (recently on Carnivore and OMAD as well). I have already experienced some improvement, though not enough. Yet, there's a particular trend on my BG that does not seem to go away. Whenever I eat a meal, even if there's a good amount...

I just came out of intensive care unit for diabetic ketoacidosis [apparently I died] and they put me on insulin which I politely took for a few weeks, but this is not for me - it hurts and the bruises hurt for days on end. so I have reduced my carbs to just under 10 grams a day and that means I...

Hello all, I believe this is actually my first ever post on a forum....anywhere! I'm more of a sit and read in the background kind of gal.... So please be patient! I have PCOS which is closely linked to T2 diabetes in the sense of how my body deals with any form of carbohydrate/insulin etc...

Hello, has anybody tried the Ketogenic Diet as a type 1 diabetic? I have been managing my blood sugar levels very well since starting the diet on Monday, and my blood sugars have not gone over 10.5, and I have also been taking less rapid insulin (around 2-3 units per day, today I have taken none...

I am about to complete 4 months of fasting, along with low carb diets. I've tried different kinds of fasting and different levels of low carb. I've started with eTRF 16:8, then 6 days a week of 16:8 and 24h fasting on the 7th day, then 24h fasting 3 days a week, then 22h fasting 7 days a week...

Long story is short I had some of these symptoms, fasting and keto made it way worse now even meat cause's a hypo. Would saying there is glucagon resistance due to long fasting and keto have any sense? And would eating carbs reverse this? An alternate could be cortisol resistance but I showed...

I'm new to the site so excuse me if I'm not using the right forum....... I have tried keto a few times but much prefer to be on a vegan diet, which is pretty hard on the keto/low carb ones I tried before. I felt terribly unwell after a week or 2 of trying and gave it up. Still struggling...

How have your dosages changed since going on Keto? My meal dosages have come down from say 8u to say 5u. Which is about what I expected. But my Levemir needs have gone from 8 morning 8 evening, to 16 morning, 3 evening, which surprised me. Do other people have such high daytime basal needs?

@Annb @bulkbiker @Lotties thought I’d start a separate thread for this. May not post every day, but helpful to have a dedicated space for the month, I think. Will cross reference from Carnivore Corner. Ate lunch on the go today - cone of cured meats; then oxtail for dinner.

Hi. I'm 47 year old, T2 and on 2 Metformin daily and I'm thinking of going on a low carb Keto diet. Has anyone been on this diet and how long? I'm just worried about Ketoacidosis build up I appreciate your help

Hi everyone. I'm new here and just about to embark on keto. I'm not diabetic, but appear to have insulin resistance, and have an underactive thyroid. My metabolism is in my boots, and I'm fed up of feeling bloated, obese and exhausted all the time. I've eaten lower carb a couple of times...

Hi Folks, I created the following Low Carb/Keto meme which you good people can share on social media etc if you wish. Please feel free to make suggestions for improvement. Thank you...

Hi to all, I'm new to the forums, posting here for a an elderly family member (75) who refuses to join me online to do research about her condition: the terrible trifecta of T2D, chronic kidney disease (stage 4), and CVD. I have done some searches here on the forums, but it's not easy to find...
