[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2479717, member: 372717"] I think we have to be very very careful here. I've been googling and failed to find any studies on low carb (let alone keto) and T1 pregnancy and a lot of sites saying "you need carbs when pregnant". I have no idea what the truth is here (maybe go to the Typeonegrit facebook site for info from T1s who've actually done this) but I can see massive issues if [USER=37006]@Rachy[/USER] has to lie to her diabetic team in order to follow this diet. Plus if [USER=37006]@Rachy[/USER] has a past history of DKA then I can imagine that her diabetic team may be less likely to let her go on a diet where ketones are present in the blood as a normal by product??? (Disclaimer, I am not a doctor). My oldest son is 30 so my two T1 pregnancies were a long time ago (and my biggest issue was loss of hypo awareness due to too tight control, I would have killed for a cgm but they weren't around then). Good luck with your journey [USER=37006]@Rachy[/USER] , whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
