[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 1024970, member: 45322"] Hi Louise, it completely transformed my control. Before, the best hba1c I could manage was in the 7s and plenty of hypos to show for it. I've been low carbing for about 3 or 4 years and ever since my hba1c has been in the 6s and I have a much reduced hypo frequency and severity. Also, my background retinopathy has disappeared. It won't necessarily raise your ketones, but diabetic ketoacidosis and having elevated ketones from a low carb diet are completely different things. One is dangerous and one isn't. Plenty of posts on here explain the different. Don't expect much support from your DSN. Most are firmly in the carb counting, eat normal brigade. Despite the fact that it doesn't work for most people. The best way to persuade your DSN is by showing them the difference it has made to your hba1c. Try it, you definitely won't regret it! [/QUOTE]
