[QUOTE="Fleur24, post: 2119220, member: 385306"] Just to be clear, I am type 2, but I have a type 1 friend who does not seem to be getting helpful advice from his healthcare professional. He is not the best at monitoring his blood sugars, and guesstimates how much he should inject for a meal. Obviously not that well. Finally he shared some readings with me. 32 on waking, and 24 before dinner tonight. If he goes below 20 he gets symptoms of a hypo. He has problems with his eyes and stomach, and is worrying about it affecting his heart. He has been interested in me putting type into remission through the keto diet, but I don't think he should make drastic changes at the moment. I think reducing his level of blood glucose should be done gradually, but no one has any advice on if it is safe to have hypo symptoms if blood glucose is in the high teens, and give him some guidance on what levels to aim for. I was wondering if anyone has been in this type of position and how they improved things if they were. [/QUOTE]
