[QUOTE="sudsandsoda, post: 2059973, member: 505090"] Hello, I was originally misdiagnosed as Type 2, now officially Type 1 with Lantus & NovoRapid. When I had my original diagnosis 5 weeks ago, I immediately went onto a strict LCHF diet. This was amazing for my BG levels. However I was continually in Ketosis and loosing weight. This was after an already large weight loss pre diagnosis (5 months, 10kg). I’m a skinny chap already! I was also knackered all the time. There is no way I could have eaten more to keep the weight loss off and enough calories coming in. When I saw the diabetes specialist nurse last week, and received my proper T1 diagnosis she was happy with what I’d managed to do with my BG levels but concerned about my high Ketosis and constant weight loss and suggested the LCHF wasn’t for sustainable long term for me. She has recommended I reintroduce carbohydrates. Which I am doing gradually, and compensating with the NovoRapid. Just wondered what people think about this. I’m happy to reintroduce carbs personally, but I will do it cautiously of course. I’ve never eaten an obscene amount of carbs. I do feel though that the standard LCHF diet just isn’t compatible with me. Has anyone else had to go for a more gentle approach to the diet? Thanks, Jx. [/QUOTE]
