[QUOTE="LilaE, post: 1109358, member: 278195"] Hi I'm 19 and newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I have been eating a low carb diet which has allowed me to not bolus as I'm still in the honeymoon period. However I have been experiencing muscle cramps in my calves at night and muscle weakness in my arms and legs. Also a stuffyness in my head, a general weakness and a fast heartbeat sometimes. I'm wondering if this is "keto flu" or low potassium levels and if anyone else has experienced it. Also how to solve it! Is this something more serious? I'm especially afraid of cardiac arrhythmias. Thanks for your help! Lila [/QUOTE]
