[QUOTE="Kirbster, post: 1570028, member: 47482"] I've been a Type 1 for 35 years and have been following the keto way of eating for 6 months. There is absolutely no reason why you can't follow the keto diet but you would have to be very careful with adjusting your insulin doses once you start. I used to only bolus for carbs, but now that I'm keto adapted I find I have to bolus for protein too, pretty much the same ratio that I used to for carbs. So my insulin levels haven't reduced much but I wasn't on high doses in the first place. My blood sugars are now so much steadier than they were when I was eating carbs, I can't tell you the benefit this diet has had to my diabetes in that respect. I have also been taken off my blood pressure meds as my blood pressure dropped dramatically, and I'd been on those pills for 25 years! Justbe mentioned Dr Bernstein's book above, but I can also recommend The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes by Ellen Davis & Keith Runyan. Worth a read! [/QUOTE]
