A lot of people on keto mix it with Intermittent Fasting, they have one or two meals a day, usually skipping breakfast. So you might want to look into what keto means, and what it may mean for you. It's not a one-size-fits-all far as amounts of grams of fats, protein and carbs go, it'll depend on your weight and size for instance. And for your information, the dietary advice for T2's and RH's are extremely similar. Neither of us want a glucose peak. T2's because we can't get it back down easily, RH's because it'll trigger an over-response in insulin. Neither is pleasant. And.... If you have a lot of insulin floating around you can become insensitive to it. And that, in turn, may lead to T2. I never even knew I'd had RH until I was well past that point, got T2, and started learning about insulin, nutrition and whatnot. <a href="https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/</a> might be of assistance, but really... You just need to know what suits you. A meter and maybe an app like Keto Diet App'll help.As for stevia, in some it'll trigger an insulin response, in some it won't. A meter'll tell you on which side you fall. Sometimes when someone has something sweet, the pancreas releases insulin pre-emptively to tackle whatever glucose is coming, but with stevia and other sweeteners, it'll overshoot because it's not needed at all, which as a RH you don't want happening.</blockquote>
