[QUOTE="ratherbegliding, post: 2126175, member: 98612"] Hi everyone and apologies for the delay in coming back. [USER=504712]@ert[/USER] [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] - I use the Dr Bernstein method. My BG gets above 13mmol/l about [I]once a month![/I] Generally really stable, between 4 and 10. Hardest part is coping with changes post exercise (I run 2-3 times a week for about 40 minutes a time). My meter also does keytones and I check those very irregularly because they seem very stable....I'm always <1. [USER=316485]@ScottyD[/USER] - Hello! Here in NZ we have what is known as a Recreational Pilot's Licence which I believe is similar to the old NPPL in the UK. So I can still fly but it's the restrictions that are annoying (and somewhat arbitrary) eg no aerobatics, no night flying, no flying over built up areas except for the purposes of taking off and landing etc... I appreciate I'll never get a Class 1 and fly commercial, but in my view the restrictions which come with an RPL are designed for people with high blood pressure or previous heart conditions, of which I'm neither! I occasionally (once or twice a week) get a reading <3.5mmol/l (and never whilst flying, driving or riding my motorcycle) but since I've gone keto it's really not a drama - I feel a bit tired and hungry, I test, I eat a piece of chocolate and I'm all good. Going keto is the key here. Prior to going keto I didn't have this degree of stability. I'm told there is a precedent of diabetics who are NOT insulin dependent being granted Class 2's over here. Update on progress - I'm going to appeal the decision. I've been in email contact with my consultant and he's willing to help put together a detailed response to directly address the only concern raised - my 'risk' of hypoclycaemia. The reality is though I'm told these decisions are rarely over-turned on appeal..... :banghead: [/QUOTE]
