I’m a type 1 diabetic and also a nursing mom to a 4 month old. I’m tired of being heavy and decided to give this diet a try after some research. I had to be assured I could do it and still breastfeed. Anyway, that part is going fine, my blood sugars are great, etc. I just have a couple of questions…
This morning I woke up and my blood ketones were measuring 4.1. My glucose was 50, so I ate 2 glucose tablets and checked my ketones again and they were 5.9! Why are my ketones so high in the morning? I’m 2.5 weeks in. Also, I lost about 6 pounds or so initially, but now am not losing any. What am I doing wrong?
