Any Type 1s on a Keto Diet?

Hypos have ben quite sparse and slight. I try to use a small number of gluco-tabs to deal with them, which reduces the risk of over-doing it and ending up with high BSLs.
My main concern was that I would end up with insufficient Vitamin C in my diet but I looked up foods containing vitamin C and found a number of vegetables which would meet my needs - such as lightly cooked broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and I try to eat some raw capsicum (peppers) each day. Those things also help to prevent constipation.
I have avoided fruit but decided I might have the occasional strawberry in season. Nuts I take are walnuts as these have the best omega 3 content. Fish I have most days, usually reserving them for after exercise (within about 30 minutes) as that helps to build muscle.
The one 'trap' is high BSLs arising from a blocked/bent cannula. With ketones already

Yep had to increase salt here never cooked with it but do now.

I have wondered about the vitamins as well the vegies seem tobe doing it.

I did 3 months keto last year when headers was suppose d to start well reduced the intensity for a while..... back on it now till driving review in june the endo should see a lower hba1c but as the dietitian said watch for hypo or things going awol especially if sick....


Catch is my numbers arnt as good as yours but doing the best i can with mdi... in the last dose i was afraid of pushing the hba1c below 6% but this time well i hope i can get below it.

All i can say is thank god for cgm helps a lot with proving how many hypos i actually have.

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.

The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes is good enough, but you have to watch your insulin levels and accordingly you should adjust your daily intake.
