[QUOTE="jane1754, post: 2007252, member: 104119"] My consultant said he had no problem with me trying LCHF and/or Keto, but you do need to alter your insulin according to what you are eating (otherwise you will get hypos). If on a pump, like me, the pump does the calculation for you, otherwise you have to do carb counting and work out the amount of insulin yourself. After all, it's a calculation the properly-functioning pancreas and beta cells would do automatically: measure the insulin against the glucose intake (isn't God clever the way he made us!), so it makes sense for us to try to do the same. The DAFNE course, which many Diabetes departments offer, helps with carb counting. I did an online course 10 years ago provided by Bournemouth hospital, which really helped me before I was considered 'eligible' for the hospital one. [/QUOTE]
