[QUOTE="bhk, post: 1248823, member: 150825"] Hello all! Last spring I tried the ketogenic diet; I wanted so much to see and feel all of its benefits for my type 1 diabetes. Indeed, my blood sugar was so nice compared to the usual fluctuations that I have! But the problem is that I had side effects that would not disappear. Headaches, blurry vision, nauseas, at the end, I was spending 2 hours per night in front of my toilet trying to avoid vomiting and I decided to stop after 5 weeks of ketogenic diet. I carefully checked my "macros" and I was not taking TOO much protein (app. 90-100g. and I weight 75 kg, going to the gym 5-6 times a week), about 50g. of carbs per day, and about 300g of lipids a day. I kept the same weight so I was consuming enough calories, and always had a decent quantity of ketones in my urine. The thing is I would really like to try the ketogenic diet again, I am very motivated, especially since I have a very labile diabetes, hard to control, but I don't want the intense side effects again considering they just worsen my quality of life! Does anyone have tips? Did this situation ever happen to anyone? You help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
