[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2667939, member: 511345"] Hi [USER=567269]@Donna85[/USER] I'm not on any medication at all and have a keto diet (except over the last week or so :) ). As you are on medication that lowers your levels you need to be very cautious with reducing your carbs too much. That's where the regular testing comes into its own. You can find out what effect different foods have on your levels. I think that some have found some help with the shakes and soup plan but ultimately you need to find a way of eating that you are able to stick to. Yes low carb can at least appear to have limited options. I suggest trying out the diet doctor website and finding a range of recipes that appeal to you. That way you have a greater range of ideas when you need something different. I agree that some exercise is also helpful but I suggest starting small and building up. What you don't need is to feel overwhelmed. I like the list that [USER=572547]@Guilty[/USER] posted. I know that better sleep for me ends up with better levels. So it's something I try to prioritise. Read around- make sure you consult with your medical team before making any major changes. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
