No keto thread? Ok, time for a keto thread.
Six months ago I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. A1C of 10.1, fasting blood glucose level 400+, post-meal blood glucose level even higher. I was told I was gonna be insulin-dependent for the rest of my life. They tried to put me on three different drugs, and told me that I had to eat 12 servings of carbohydrates spread throughout the day to "balance out" my blood glucose because one of the drugs would randomly put me in a hypoglycemic coma if I didn't.
So I went on keto.
Got my test results back last night. A1C is 5.5 (normal), fasting blood glucose is 94 (normal), two-hour "postprandial" (two hours post-meal) blood glucose is 95 (normal). I ate some dumplings and a donut prior to the post-meal test so that it would be a real test of my insulin resistance, not a cheat by eating only proteins and fats.
I haven't taken any of the drugs in four months. I never ever took the one that could put me in a coma if I didn't eat carbs.
And for the asswipes who go around saying "you gonna die, your arteries is gonna clog!", my cholesterol level dropped 30 points and my LDL level dropped 22.
Total victory. Yay for keto. Picrelated. Suck it, haters.

so, youre saying, that by decreasing the amount of protein you ate, your insulin receptors that usually provide a blunted response to the insulin your alpha cells produce, have actually been responding better to insulin, whether by upregulating receptors or increasing sensitivity?
congrats man!

Type 1 here. I also eat a ketogenic diet, and have had drastically improved health stats across the board as well. Congratulations. Tell all the other diabetics you know. Eventually we'll get the majority of doctors to prescribe it as the standard diet for treatment of the newly diagnosed. It'll save a lot of lives and take a huge chunk out of healthcare costs.

>medical instructions
It's called "medical advice", and it's ok to disregard bad or wrong advice.

You apparently don't know what a keto diet is.
Keto is where you decrease or eliminate CARBOHYDRATES, not protein. You basically eat meat and vegetables, and fats from both. Cool, huh?

Congrats; here's hoping for ya that they get those protective treatments figured out for autologous islet-cells-from-stem-cells soon. With any luck they'll have a permanent cure for you type-1's in a few years.
