    Any Type 1s on a Keto Diet?

    I read a book called The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes. I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who's tried it as well. I know there's a lot of info for T2s on low carb and all, but don't see much about T1s.

    Low carb for T1

    I am getting a lot of mixed answers about doing a low carb diet (30g of carbs per day) and having T1, some people say it’s dangerous, some people say it helps manange BG levels! I only want to be on low carb until I lose a stone and then I’ll probably go to 50g of carbs per day to maintain. Can...

    Trendy

    Like all things trendy, there is often not much substance. I got a newsletter from London Vision Clinic, where I had my laser treatment, and they said - 'Veganism' seems to have slowly crept up on us, and is now one of the main trends for 2019. From the skincare we use, to the food that we eat...

    My doctor was angry with me...

    Okay, I am having a total up and down experience AGAIN for what must be the fourth time. I've shed 37 lbs from 233 lbs at a high, and did get as low as 186 lbs but slid back up to 196 this month - work stress. I have not been taking my diabetes or thyroid medication properly or regularly - not...

    A Template for Debates - Carnivore vs Vegan

    It was refreshing to watch 2 heavy weights discuss sensibly topics concerning diametrically opposed positions. No insults or cheap shots. I / possibly we, need more of this, as there is much which can be learned by having both low carb / keto / carnivore and vegan experts state their cases...

    Ellen Ripley Reporting from the spaceship Sulaco – a ‘teeny-keto-VLCD regime’

    I loved DreadCaptainRobert’s ‘Captain’s Log’, as a Star Trek reference, so I thought I might take her lead, as in beloved ‘Alien’ movies, seeing we are both here reporting and logging a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) around the same time. The first spaceship in the ‘Alien’ series was the...

    Fyi: Interview With Type 1 Keto Vegan Who Is A Surgeon

    If people haven't heard this before... I thought people might be interested in this interview with Dr. Carrie Diulus. Although I'm Type 2, I found it fascinating. She's a Type 1 diabetic (developed as an adult) who is vegan and eats a keto diet. She also has celiac disease. She's also an...

    Needing To Gain Weight To Fight Cancer

    I have a friend with cancer. He is now underweight and in order to face an operation needs to put on weight. Putting on weight with carbs will feed the cancer. If he is in ketosis then (hopefully) the cancer will not be quite so happy. So, he doesn't need to worry about putting on fat. He...

    Bulletproof Marmite

    We’ve all heard of and probably drunk a fair bit of bulletproof coffee, but have you tried bulletproof marmite? I sometimes want something savoury, and not full of caffeine - also I drink my coffee black, so I’m not a fan of putting butter in it. 1. Heaped teaspoon of marmite and a tbsp...
