I have angered the low carb gods, and swift and terrible is their wrath. I had... a bacon sandwich!
Bacon sandwich, granary bread, marge, no sauce, from a caf at 8am and all hell broke loose. Rollercoaster hypers and hypos. I can say goodbye to ketosis today. This was me a few minutes ago.
If you read up on the "induction phase" of the Atkins diet, that's about how to get into ketosis. How quick it is depends how strict you are. Could be a few days to a few weeks.How long does it take to make ketosis happen?

Diagnosed prediabetic Easter 2014. Just left to get on with it, no guidance or help from GP. Every day I'm learning something new.
Regularly, but normally 3 rashers in one slice of bergen bread. Just can't overpower that bacon now can IAt least you understand why...............
Bacon sandwich anyone?
At first I thought I wasn't having carb flu, but then I realised I was, just so mild compared to previous LC diets that I hadn't even noticed it.After I took a home OGTT ages ago-it took me about 1-2 days to show ketones again and another 1-2 days to get to +++ on the ketostix.
Are you experiencing any symptoms of 'Carb flu' whilst your body is re-entering ketosis again? I did a little bit but no-where as bad as the first time I started LCHF.
I am not exactly sure why I went hypo. I think I was stacking insulin on the way down.Regularly, but normally 3 rashers in one slice of bergen bread. Just can't overpower that bacon now can I
@Spiker why did you go hypo? Did you over compensate with your insulin when you went hyper?
To explain, I was stacking correction insulin doses but using the pump's Insulin On Board (IOB ) feature to try to prevent over dosing. IOB reduces the risks of stacking but it's not perfect.I am not exactly sure why I went hypo. I think I was stacking insulin on the way down
No it wasn't a rash action but a ... Rasher action ;-)Look at it this way....less of a rash action , and more of an experiment to check your regime is working.
Obviously, it does !
Back on the wagon with you, and remember... bread is eeeeeeeeevil !
