[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1919827, member: 196960"] Not continuous fasting..... Starvation. No. 800cals is classed as the starvation diet though. So I'm ill on any restrictive diet but I like the medics to see it for themselves so no misunderstandings. Multivitamins with minerals and iron are keeping me from scurvy and anemia. Frozen veg and cows milk with a Soya based powder doesn't make many people feel nourished. Starvation is what's being monitored currently. Side affects from meds and insulin also being monitored. Still on over 300units of insulin injected on 800cals. Ranging from 7mmol-9mmol finger pricking from sugar in shakes, coatings on meberine and soya which doesn't work well for my underactive thyroid. I kid you not. So if a GP had advised lchf like [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] keeps insisting I would still be on insulin but with more betablockers, me thinks. Chest pains only started when I changed to low carb eating. Sorry but true. I've been advised not to be so low with carbs and rightly as I don't now get continuous sleepless nights nor faster heartbeats. Dapagliflozin wakes me every 3hrs with a very full bladder as I'm on high liquids with this med and 800cals. Lchf has to be adapted for me due to other health conditions. I'm not alone. GPs aren't practiced in advising patients like me. That's why I see a consultant. I'm glad doctors don't treat everyone the same. Maybe one day lchf diet will be in the pamphlet all type2s are given but I think treading carefully is always advisable. We are not all the same. [/QUOTE]
