Follow me on my personal journey to healthy and normal blood sugar levels. My name is Charlie and I am a type 1 diabetic, I control my diabetes with an insulin pump and a Libre. I was given the usual dietary advice upon diagnosis, which included alot of carbs and I don't need to say, my blood sugars spiked like crazy. That is when I found DR Bernstein and read his book, it made much more sense than the advice I had been given. I now follow the good Doctors advice to control my sugar levels. I then came across a Facebook group called Typeonegrit, where I also learnt the best way to control diabetes was through a LCHF diet, it was this group of people that really helped me on my way to normal levels, they gave me the advice and inspiration that I needed and they keep me working hard day in and day out.

Before and After

Here are my graphs of a typical day before and during my LCHF management of type 1 diabetes. Such a difference!  I still have a long long way to go before I am happy and have steady low blood sugars but this is great progress. Many people worry about having to many lows whilst trying to keep a lower blood sugar, but on LCHF you are dealing with much lower levels of insulin, often bolusing under 1 unit, so the chances of swinging up and down are very low.
