[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2198697, member: 480869"] addiction is the issue with carb for many of us these days. We need to treat it as such imo. So are you an all or nothing kinda gal? I’m unable to resist temptation. If I have a little I don’t stop. So when I started this I went keto. All in. But I wasn’t on insulin or any other meds so hypo wasn’t a concern. I’d suggest if this is what you’d like to do you talk to your dr and hold off on the insulin maybe to avoid that risk. (Nothing to stop you using it again later IF it’s needed but it shouldn’t be needed). Others prefer to ease in gently without the shock of leaping in. Probably easier to reduce insulin a bit at a time this way too. But again speak to your dr to get doses appropriate for what you eat - not the other way around. I’m assuming here you are on fixed dose as it’s still only a matter of days since diagnosis. What was your hb1ac? This is important as it lets you know how far you have got to go and how far towards your goal you’ve got. I’m assuming as insulin was given immediately quite high. That said some drs issue it much more (too!) quickly than others and there are people that have started in the 100+ range on low carb with no meds and done brilliantly. what foods do you eat? What’s great for your tastebuds? What’s awful? and more than the immediately preceding food effects us, though that is the largest factor. What we ate earlier in the day or even the day before, how we slept, if we’re ill or coming down with something, how stressed we are, what exercise we’ve done. This is why each meal is tested more than once, to get an overall and consistent picture. last point already made by [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] you will fail at some point. We all do.
