Lovre replied to Lovre's discussion 'Less carbs, more insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"thank you on your suggestions. You have actually helped me a lot. I have thought about insulin requirement and Total Available Glucose (TAG)that FHS mentioned and after reading professor Yudkin article i had a eureka moment. It is the proteins. I am…"

"Pilgrim I too have read aand admired Yudkin. I read some of his stuff when it first came out in the 1970s. The worst thing that happened to understanding nutrition was when Ancel Keys's so called "Seven Countries Study" [which is VERY…"

David (dns) replied to Lovre's discussion 'Less carbs, more insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Boy, this is SUCH a moving target. I know that for many people fat makes a big difference in the speed of absorption. For me, the effect is very minimal. Go figure.
FHS makes a lot of good valid points. I would just add to the list one more variable…"
FHS replied to Lovre's discussion 'Less carbs, more insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"So, yeah, insulin requirement, on the one hand, is dependent on Total Available Glucose from carbs and gluconeogenesis from protein. When you drop carbs to Bernstein levels, that's a significant decrease in the requirements for insulin to cover…"
David (dns) replied to Lovre's discussion 'Less carbs, more insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"pilgrim, I did pretty much exactly the same as you did -- I created a bolus calculator based on Bernstein. Only difference is that, being a programmer, I was able to do it myself. At any rate, that's what I did and I use it every day to…"
pilgrimD replied to Lovre's discussion 'Less carbs, more insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"So sorry for the frustration, Lovre.
I've was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2008, and finding the right formula of how to eat and the right insulin type/amount for my body involved a lot of trial and error.
My husband eventually made an insulin…"

Less carbs, more insulin?
Has anybody had this problem? I am getting 25% of my calories from carbs and around 60% from fat, the rest from protein. i know i am not in ketosis and my body probably still prefers sugar over fat. But the thing that i do not understand is every time i reduce my carb intake by a little bit i become more insulin resistant. For two years i had to take 1 unit of insulin for 5g of carbs, and now ,when i am eating less carbs and more fat, i have to take 1 unit of insulin for 3.5g of carbs? I am…See More

Natalie ._c- replied to Lovre's discussion 'I have a few questions about LCHF diet' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"The first thing that struck my eye is that you say you are afraid of fats. That's good ol' propaganda (and I DO mean OLD!!) smacking you in the face. Fats are NOT the enemy. The truth is that you can never eat unprocessed carbs without…"
Lovre replied to Lovre's discussion 'I have a few questions about LCHF diet' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"yes, i agree that i am probably not in ketosis all the time. i am probably experiencing dizziness and other simptoms because going from 300g to 150g of carbs per day in short time is a mild shock for the brain. i actualy started taking more salt…"
