So one thing that has popped up a lot on here is the need to be working closely with a doctor. So I live in the sticks, and need to drive 45 minutes to 2 hours to get to the larger cities. The doctor I see now is the GP that our children's home uses, and lets just say that I don't think he's a very good doctor, but I just…

Thanks again, everyone. I do feel like I should clarify, I wasn't just planning to ditch the insulin and think that this diet will magically and immediately cure everything...I just kind of wanted to see how it would be affected, and also really didn't want to start it out by crashing and having to take in lots of sugar.…

In a way...I'm a housemom at a children's home, so I am preparing lots of things that I can't eat. One of them dang kids brought home an entire cookie cake yesterday and no matter how much I tried to get them to eat it, there's still some left, taunting me (I'm on day 3, so bear with me).

Hard to say; he's been eating quite low carb for a while now, but started adding in the fats a little over a week ago, I guess.

So I asked my husband about this. He's actually going for an ultrasound today to see if his gall bladder is really dead like they suspect. He told me that he's actually been fine since going on this diet, whereas before he's been having pretty bad pain flare ups regularly. He also said his doctor told him the liver would…

Interesting question...my husband is likely getting his gall bladder out soon, so I'm also curious to hear the answer.

Thank you all so much for your help, advice and encouragement!

... if you find yourself breaking down and buying pork rinds to try, after having long considered them the most unappealing unhealthy snack ... and actually semi liking them!" Nooooooooo!!!!!

I didn't even know they had that...

So something is still making glucose even though I'm not taking in carbs.

I do know from the past that my fastings were often higher than when I went to bed...dawn syndrome, or something?

My blood sugars tend to be pretty high...I've been feeling lately like the insulin is not really working like it's supposed to, or maybe I'm just getting more IR the more I take it? I have to take like 50 units at a meal, and when I started it was 10-20. I take Levemir and Humalog. I don't usually remember to take my…

Bacon, avocado/guac, curried egg salad, zoodles, roasted veggies.

I've enjoyed spiralizing squash, zucchini, and cucumber in salad, but I didn't really enjoy cooked zoodles, as spaghetti. I did, however, use my ribbon cut blade to make zucchini pasta for lasagna, and it worked beautifully. I just made a regular lasagna for everyone else, and a small zoodle lasagna for my husband and me.…
