Thanks Everyone, I’m 5’7" (1.78 m) and weight 129 (59 k), I’ve always been skinny, I tried to gain weight once and it was a loooot of work … eating like crazy and lifting weights and manage to put on about 5 pounds. I want to try this diet because from around a month now my insulin needs have increased tremendously (I went from 1 unit = 16 grams to 1 unit = 6 grams) and my sugars are becoming impossible to control.
Oddly enough this started about 1 month after starting on the omnipod. I was diagnosed about 2 and a half years ago … maybe I had a really long honeymoon … I don’t know.
Anyway, it makes sense to me that a low carb diet will ease up the BG levels, I hear that most health organizations don’t recommend this, but I’ve also heard the feedback from the people who’ve tried it and it seems to be pretty positive. I believe in the feedback more.
