Quick search but nothings popped up:
Have recently started Low Carb High Fat (LCHF), so far so good but with the occasional hypo. I have a flat basal profile except for 4-5 hrs in the morning where I am at around 200% normal rate to cover DP and reduced sensitivity at breakfast. This elevated rate is now causing hypos, dropped from 4.5 at waking to 2.8 just before leaving for work 30 mins later.
How do you manage DP when on LCHF? Are there any hard and fast rules for basal adjustment? Does DP stop when in ketosis?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, just an update, I've been offline for a while with whole load going on at work.
I'm still living the LCHF lifestyle and am still having fantastic results with both bodyweight and diabetes control.
In the past 2 months my body has improved even further having noticed I was getting serious hypos at waking, I have tweaked my basal rate further and low and behold my pesky DP issues are no more! My basal profile is flat as pancake (0.75iu per hour) and my BGs are more stable than ever.
I don't understand the physiology behind how this has happened but am ecstatic at the results, happy days
