[QUOTE="keating99, post: 1590614, member: 369148"] Same as others have mentioned most or all of the doctors will try and say being powered from Ketones is a bad thing with type 1 diabetes. I for one can tell you this is totally untrue. I've been diabetic 11 years now and the past 3 months on Keto is the best thing that has happened for my management. The problem is, the diet the health care providers sets out for us requires extensive diabetes treatment therefor putting us all in this vicious circle of needing to pump more and more insulin. If we don't eat all these extra carbs we don't need all this extra insulin. Exercise on lots of insulin is a no go in my opinion - go low take more sugar to come back up, go high take more insulin and this vicious circle continues and the pharma companies get richer. It's very odd and I have had arguments with many doctors about this, their treatment for diabetes is to cause diabetes mmmm. Get your background insulin on point and you'll see blood sugars results as if you don't have the condition. You may need very small doses of novorapid from time to time because of proteins and such. Don't dive in right away do extensive research. I always say to other type 1 diabetics you're either in full hilt or don't do it at all. I say this because if you're in a ketosis state and for some reason you say screw that I'm eating pasta and you don't take the correct amount of insulin, your blood sugar will go up and with the elevated levels of ketones you might have a chance of developing DKA, but again this will not happen if your blood sugars are perfect and they will be if you are in ketosis. So you're either in fully or not at all. I hope it all goes well for you, and if you need and help just ask, lots of nice people here will be more than happy to help. If unsure about insulin doses make sure and consult your doctor never second guess. [/QUOTE]
