[QUOTE="deszcznocity, post: 2230124, member: 520445"] T1D dx'ed Sept 2019 with HbA1c 124. Jan 2019 HbA1c down to 42. I use Dr Bernstein's approach which is almost no carbs, high protein and moderate fat. It is NOT a ketogenic-centric approach, however the side effect is that you are in ketosis most of the time. I stopped eating dairy recently (see: casomorphin). If you want to gain weight AND lower your BG you need to: a) cut the carbs to 30g a day (this is totally doable - see prof. Tim Noakes book Food Revolution) b) eat a lot more protein (I suggest 85g at breakfast, 135g at lunch and 180g at dinner) c) lower BG with insulin - approx 25% of protein intake is converted by your liver into glucose (see: gluconeogenesis) and insulin is a hormone responsible not only for lowering your BG but also for converting food energy into fat. See attached - bear in mind I am type 1 - Dr Bernstein's diabetes solution works. [/QUOTE]
