Message: <blockquote data-quote="notria" data-source="post: 1320281" data-attributes="member: 112842">I have been doing low GI for 20 years then 2 years ago diagnosed Lada Type 1. Not on insulin yet as A1c is 47 but am thinking about it. I have read Dr Bernstein’s book and lowered carb – so far its between 40g and 120g per day. I believe that the UK government recommends a minimum of 120g carb for brain function.I understand that if you achieve very low carb eg 24g per day then your brain can adapt to ketones – you become ketone adapted. But what if you are below 120g but above 24g or if one day below 24g and another day you are much higher than 24g? Can your brain instantly switch between glucose and ketones? Help appreciated.</blockquote>
