[QUOTE="Lord Midas, post: 1474930, member: 330044"] Hi everyone. Being an insulin dependent T2D I'm having trouble managing my blood sugar on a keto diet. I've since learned about the Dawn Phenomenon, as after I wake my BS can rise from 4mmol/l to 15 in about 1-2 hours. All without my consuming carbs. This will stay like this throughout the day unless I bring it down with Humalog. I've had a bulletproof coffee and a bag of pork scratchings and about 5g of cheddar cheese, and my BS rose to 17mmol/l. I took 14 units of humalog and an hour later my BS hasn't changed. This has been going on for weeks. I don't understand why my BS rises so high and why I'm finding it difficult for it to lower. I'm hearing so many great stories of people reversing their meds and losing multiple kg in weight. I do get that because I am still taking insulin this can be why I'm not losing weight. After 2 months of very low carb/keto I've not lost any weight, my BS rises as if I was eating carbs, and I'm still having to take as much insulin as I used to. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone shine any light on why this might happen? Does anyone who is an IDT2D have a solution to this problem? Many thanks :nurse: [/QUOTE]
