Message: <blockquote data-quote="PmR" data-source="post: 990946" data-attributes="member: 223940">I have had diabetes for 25 years and always been told to eat a healthy diet consisting of mainly carbs protein and fat. My diabetes has been fairly well controlled but I have always noticed my mood and state of mind changes due to my blood sugars. I have tried varied diets and exercises over the last couple years and have been having a lot of success with the ketogenic diet. Essentially burning fat for fuel instead of carbs.If your eating carbs and taking insulin your storing a lot of the energy in your body as glycogen, and the fat you ingest never gets burnt off it just adds to it because your body is burning carbs not fat and carbs hit the bloodstream rapidly. I would suggest having 80% of your calorie intake from fat, 15% from protein and 5% from slow releasing complex carbs. I used to take four injections a day and now taking two. No brain fog or mood swings anymore just feeling more balanced also stress releases cortisol, raising blood sugars so try to meditate or just deep breathing and slow stretching can relax the body. Hope this info helps. All the best</blockquote>
