Hello, has anybody tried the Ketogenic Diet as a type 1 diabetic?
I have been managing my blood sugar levels very well since starting the diet on Monday, and my blood sugars have not gone over 10.5, and I have also been taking less rapid insulin (around 2-3 units per day, today I have taken none and my sugars are 6 after having very low carb breakfast, lunch and dinner).
I am aware of what Ketoacidosis is (DKA) and have never experienced this, however on the Ketogenic diet the aim is to enter Ketosis. Whilst looking further into Ketoacidosis I’ve read that it is possible to also enter DKA from not taking enough insulin or eating enough food - does anybody know about this, as I am taking dramatically less insulin and eating high fats and low carb, but my blood sugars are very stable, so I’m a little worried about this happening. Any help would be much appreciated!
