[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2028390, member: 480869"] That’s very young for type 2! Even more so if you had it for many years. You may have had non diabetic levels. You were still diabetic - just in control or remission by diet rather than drugs. It will always (barring some scientific advances) be there, but you can always control it. That may be easier if insulin resistance has been reduced by losing visceral fat, increasing muscle etc. keto is exactly that, very low carbs. It is not inherently unhealthy though. Carbs are not essential. If the other components of your food gave you the nutrients required then it can be very healthy for a diabetic compared to other choices out there. Do you believe it was keto that made you depressed? Did you add fats whilst reducing carbs? And have salts? If it’s too rigourous for you then raise the levels a little to low carb rather than keto and see if your bgl remains acceptable. One bowl of pasta is not going to give you diabetic levels of hb1ac. And it’s hardly surprising that it spiked your bgl afterwards. It would most any diabetic. It’s a few hours over a 3 month average. [/QUOTE]
