[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2336146, member: 372717"] Thanks, I did watch it (though would much prefer a transcript as I read fast and hate having to devote 50 minutes to something I could read in 10) . Really, really interesting, though I see he used 18g of glucose to control hypos so wasn't strictly 100% keto.:). Don't think I'm worried about low carb causing brittle hypos now. I'm currently low carb (probably less than 80g per day), would consider going lower though am not sure I would want to go full keto. As I have T2 in my family I have some insulin resistance and extra weight, so would love to be able to reduce both of those. I might try some fasting.... And going off topic, does he say anything about lipid levels anywhere? (Currently under pressure from GP because after going lower carb my total cholesterol is up, though my ratio is still fine at total/HDL of 3.5. NZ guidelines have a chart where the lowest ratio shown is 4 and I'm deemed to need statins just because of my age (over 55). I'm concerned that they may make my T2 tendencies worse and push up my bgs) [/QUOTE]
