I read a science journal suggesting Type 1's can't maintain "beneficial Ketosis" because of a negative feedback loop from such small insulin levels will mean no energy can enter the cells (or something like that) and this will eventually become dangerous. So I chickened out when my ketone levels became darker & darker (despite perfect glucose control)
All this info was VERY hard to find btw and my diabetic nurses didn't seem too informed either. So I basically had to experiment on myself
Like I said. I'm on low carb right now, with therapeutic levels of insulin. And that seems to be okay
If it's working for you regarding the balance of healthy BGs & maintaining your personal body style?
Then more power to ya!
