Hi Dixon.@"Yesssica_a" I have explained to you very well the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis anyway, if you want more information, I advise you to read the (magnificent) blog of a huesca pediatrician Link you read this you will not have the slightest doubt.I also advise you to read Dr. Bernstein, he was the pioneer of the low car regime, he is diabetic from a young age and as of today, he is over 80 years old, he has not had the slightest complication.On YouTube it has a channel.Look also this page, it is excellent: Link
(In one of the videos - or in his book, I don't remember ...- Dr. Bernstein explains how a low carbohydrate diet can help keep the few beta cells that remain in the pancreas of someone who has just been diagnosed withdiabetes).
Regarding my experience, what I can tell you is that I hope I would have started with this type of diet as soon as I was diagnosed with diabetes.Initially I followed the guidelines that gave me in the hospital.I endured a year (only with slow, very few units) but ... little by little the thing began to fall.The truth is that she did not understand that she was forced to eat "x" amount of carbohydrates and that I had to put insulin to my body's inability to treat them.I told myself that there had to be another way of doing things.I started looking for information and one thing took me to the other.At first I was scared like you because it confused nutritional ketosis and ketoacidosis.Little by little I had the clearest things.The experiences shared by the people of the groups that I am part of helped me a lot.Today I still put myself alone, 3 or 4 units;I guess I have managed to extend the honeymoon period a little more.I am followed by a specialist who once gave me the necessary guidelines for my diet to be complete and did not suffer shortcomings.I do enough sport, especially now that I am on vacation.This diet has changed my life: before bicycle exits were little less than hell.I had to take I don't know how many rations of carbohydrates, I had to wear the backpack loaded in case I had hypoglycemia, I stopped every two for three to verify my blood glucose, I had to stop to eat, wait for me to get on ... I was bitter.Since I follow this diet I can tell you that even if I make 35 km breakfast as any other day, for example, a lemon juice diluted in water and a French spinach tortilla (2 eggs + 100 gr of spinach, total: less than 5Grams of carbohydrates.In summary, that I can do 35 km with that breakfast and stay stable the entire journey in less than 90 mg/dl.Do you realize?I stay stable while I do sports!This regime has given me above all quality of life, I live much quieter.Anyway, as a precaution, I still verify my blood glucose five times a day.
I know that this honeymoon period will end before or later, but I will try to lengthen as much as possible.I feel good, I have an endurance when exercising much greater than before (I have no birds and recover much before), I sleep better, the state of my skin has improved incredibly, I am very better better ... frankly, is that it is that it is thatI can't find it more than advantages.Many people confuse this diet with Atkins, and they are not the same.I take very few carbohydrates, a lot of "good" fat (olive oil, avocados, nuts, salmon etc etc) and an amount of proteins according to the exercise I do, it is not a high protein diet.I would advise you to have as much as possible, that you continue verifying how you have sugar and above all, that you listen to your body.Unfortunately, a type I diabetes is not cured, but you can get infinitely better depending on what our diet is.
