    Not sure where to put this ...

    But am delighted that my recent Hba1c reading has gone down from 48 to 43 after following a Keto diet since my prediabetes diagnosis in May. I have also lost 3 kilos. When my new GP told me, I said 'That's great!' and he said in a very dour manner 'You're still prediabetic, don't get...

    Keto + T1D Issues

    Hello! I am a type one diabetic. I have been following keto for almost 3 or 4 months now. At the beginning, I was just doing 'low carb' to reduce my insulin intake but being a bit of a perfectionist I soon found myself going for the deep end on what could be achieved. I have reduced my basal...

    I bought a Keto cookbook with some great looking recipes. However, I’ve not tried any because so many of them ask for liquid stevia drops (sometimes as well as powdered erythritol or swerve). The only sweetener I can easily get locally is xylitol granules/powder, which I’m guessing I can...
