I've been clicking or slow or fast and I don't know what to do ...

In January I was diagnosed with 420 in blood at the hospital after 1 month with the typical symptoms.

Since then I have dropped almost 30 kilos and I have realized that dividing the hydrates into 5 meals (80-100 grams for the whole day), never happened from 120.

I started taking away the fast 2 weeks ago and putting only 11 units of slow toujeo, but I have tried these 3 days to also remove the slow one and I still go from 120. I wake up at 80-90 and post food 120 or less.With diet and sport I am getting that, but I don't know if it's good.

In theory in my first medical examination of results, they confirmed that it was type 1 for autoimmunity and that (they didn't tell me anything about the C), so I don't know if there was a process in my body that made me have those valuesAt the beginning or that I am really on a honeymoon and I do not need insulin yet but I will need it, if my body is "healing" (utopia I suppose) ... my hemoglobin was 5.1.

The bad that until December I do not go to the endocrine again.

I don't know if I do well or not, I don't know what can be bad for my body to never click and that is the information that I would like to collect.I talked to David Diaz Gil who has been with Lowcab without puncturing but he gets 20 grams a day.Me 80 or so.He told me about ketoacidosis, but like enough hydrates, there is no option to happen to me, right?

I am a little confusing and I come to see if you give me a light scratch or if you think it is crazy what I am doing.

Greetings and thanks!

If you stay in normal glucose values ​​without insulin, then great, do not use it.I don't think it lasts forever but what you can be like this better, you take away the risk of hypoglycemia.The sport causes you to be much more sensitive to insulin and if you have lowered the hydrates because now your body they have a lot of insulin with which they still produce.If you have lowered 30kg I imagine that you had a certain overweight so you were also quite resistant to insulin and to lose weight, lower hydrates and sport insulin resistance has also reversed and it comes to you with which you produce.In your case I would not worry about not using insulin, rather I would be glad.That if you do not stop controlling the glucose in case the thing changes.
As for ketoacidosis if you have normal glucose levels there is no risk although you can measure the ketones in blood from time to time to see if they are normal.Cetoacidosis occurs due to lack of insulin and if glucose is normal, there is enough insulin.
Maybe David told you about ketosis or ketosis and ketoacidosis.The first thing you have to know is that it is not the same.Cetosis is a normal state of the body in which the energy of the ketone bodies is obtained (which are the result of metabolizing the fats in the liver).To be in ketosis you usually have to lower the hydrates below 50gr per day although it depends on each person.Above 50gr/day you don't enter ketosis.You can have some time that your body uses fat but you are not in ketosis all the time.That means that at some point you can get ketones in blood but if they are within the safe limits it is normal that has no risk if the glucose is not high.
Ketoacidosis is a very serious complication that can be deadly and that occurs when there is not enough insulin.In non -diabetics it does not happen but in diabetics it is a real risk and we have to be careful.For ketoacidosis, there must be very little or no insulin available.In this case neither glucose nor ketones can enter the cells and both rise in the blood, but the cells still have no food.Without insulin available there is no way to open cell receptors and the body begins to release energy producing ketones from the fatty tissue to feed those cells.And if there is still no insulin, the body would continue to produce glucose and ketones.The excess of both causes them to be eliminated by urine because both are toxic in blood at high levels and that generates dehydration (hence thirst and the desire to urinate in the diabetic debut).In addition, ketones change the pH of the blood and that is also very dangerous when certain levels are passed.But to get to this, there is always a lack of insulin and it shows quickly because glucose rises.While you are at normal glucose levels, everything is going well even if there are ketone bodies because they will be at normal levels and your body will be using them to obtain energy.
In your case eating that amount of hydrate you will not be in ketosis so you have no worry.But continues to control blood glucose daily in case at some point notes that start up and need insulin.
If you want more information and you use Facebook there is a "Diabetes low in hydrates" group where there is a lot of documentation on the subject and people that we do low carb or ketogenics that can help you with doubts.Here at the "Amélie" forum (which is also in the Facebook group) I can tell you their experience, I think he uses only 3 or 4 units of slow a day and nothing quick with ketogenic diet for a few months.

You can make a glycosylated in the pharmacy in two months and you will know how you are going

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.

Hello.What happens to you is the same as it happened to me.I arrived at the hospital over 400. I lowered 12kg in less than a month.They started with the insulins, Humalog and Toujeo.He took 5 from Humalog with meals and 15u Toujeo at night.In two months I left the fast and continued with Toujeo, exercising and sports in addition to an added sugars diet.In the weeks I was with an average of 106 and the sugar does not rise to more than 120 in the mornings.I was completely eliminated by the ibsulins.They prescribed me metformin, and right now I am controlling with diet and sports.And the metformin in form when he needs it.
Go ahead.The honeymoon does not exist.It is a battle against the will

@"Diegoa", the honeymoon is typical of the type1. Not all diabetes are the same.

@"Regina" Hi.When I mean that the honeymoon does not exist, it is that I consider having diabetes type 1 or 2 or pseudo, it must treat it as something pleasant but I understand the concept.For me it is a challenge and an obligation to combat it in the most effective way possible.

Hi Dixon.@"Yesssica_a" I am treated that is type 1, it is the same but ladAnd they still destroy them some continue to work but little, and if we have honeymoon like type 1 that we are but in a time you will see.
As for losing KLG, it is normal in principle because of the bad metabolic control, as soon as you stabilize you will take kilos and it will be practically impossible to lose them is more they take more than those who are not diabetic because insulin influences in the end patience
