[QUOTE="ratherbegliding, post: 2119582, member: 98612"] [USER=365308]@NicoleC1971[/USER] , (1971? DoB by any chance? makes us the same age :) ) You hit the nail on the head. My appeal will live or die based on that very point - does a keto diet merely delay the symptoms (and hence the same risk of incapacitation exists) or does it actually reduce incapacitation levels altogether, and thus the risk that goes with it. Everyone's different, and the sugar level at which one person suffers visible impairment can be quite different to another's. I met one Doctor a few years ago who was also T1D and he told me he just runs his blood sugars high all the time - like between 15 and 20 mmol/l. He said he started 'going hypo' at around 6 mmol/l! Which approach is better? Who knows. I think there is no one right solution that fits everybody (although this example was pretty extreme). Just finished writing my letter to my consultant... let's see what he says. RBG [/QUOTE]
