hi.I habe been doing a keto diet for about a month.during the day my blood sigars are ok so much so I have been taken of my insulin and am no longer on medication. the thing is I have always had dawn phenomenon. my bliod sugars are high for me at about 11-13 mmmol my ketones are non existent too but by lunch time my blood sugars are between 7-8.5 & my ketones are about 0.5. this happens every day.my carbs are low at about 50g per day. also I am getting terrible migraines with my high blood sugars. I am on beta blockers for my migraines but since going keto the migraines have goten worse. how can I stop the early morning high blood sugars ? can I use aplle cider vinegar ? I havent lost wny weight either but my diabetic nurse said it may take a while to lose weight as insulin csurses fat accumulation. I asked for years of insulin caursed fat gain and she always said no but no ive stope it she says it does. any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was on invakana over a year ago for about 3 months and I lost about 10 kilo in weight but I suffered horrible side effects so I was took of it.
 
Do you keep a journal? How many grams of protein are you eating a day? How many calories per day? About 1/2 of the protein is converted to glucose by the liver via gluconeogenesis.

What books do you have? A few that might help you: The New Atkins for a New You, The Obesity Code (by Dr. Jason Fung), Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, Blood Sugar 101 by Jenny Ruhl, Dr. Mosley's 8 Week Blood Sugar diet.
