[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 300006, member: 33342"] There are risks associated with a ketogenic diet (or indeed any diet). As with any other way of treating your diabetes, you need to weight up those risks, against the risk of inaction, and the potential risk of diabetic complications. This is my first law of diabetes: [b]I prefer to reduce the known risk of DIABETIC complications rather than worry about SPECULATIVE complications of a LCHF/ketogenic diet.[/b] It's working for me so far. My HbA1c is 4.9% and I'm fitter and healthier than I've ever been. The only other diabetics that I know are in the 4% club are ketogenic dieters (with the possible exception of xyzzy, who lives on the edge of ketosis). It's going to take something much stronger than "someone elses doctor", "charity websites" and "blog-posts" to convince me that reducing the risks associated of a ketogenic worth trading for a higher HbA1c.
