[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2265575, member: 475901"] I was prediabetic some years ago, went low carb for a few weeks and all was fine, then over the next 18mths or so I gradually went back to my old diet. Then the shocking blood test, I'd gone from fine to full diabetic in less than a year. I've been back on low carb for two years this time, in remission for nearly as long, and I only started allowing myself an occasional extra treat a few weeks ago. I wish I could stay fully low carb but I never lost my sweet tooth, however, I keep it in check with just an extra 25g of carb or so. And I retest once a week on rising and after one meal. I assume this is for life, so while I don't maintain a fully low carb lifestyle I still stay below 100g most days and never go over 150g. If I know I'm going to be in a stressful situation (one of my triggers) I try to plan low carb treats, eg a coconut flour cake or some sugar free icecream, to help. Energy shouldn't be an issue if you are eating enough fat, the keto flu some people get is only when they drop carbs suddenly and then just lasts a few days until your body adjusts to fat burning.
