Hello everyone just introducing myself as I am new here I am a type one diabetic and have been doing keto and intermittent fasting most of the time for about five years now. I do lift weights and my goals with keto and intermittent fasting are To keep my blood sugars A-1 C and insulin dosages to a minimum. And obviously avoid any medical issues in the future. Also at the same time becoming as strong and muscular as possible. It is quite tough but I’ve managed to lose about 80lbs of fat/muscle in the beginning and managed to gain about 40lbs back hopefully of muscle. I get most of my advice from deleaur and berg on YouTube. I train anywhere from 4-6 days a week. Right now the obstacle of getting tired mid week and having good energy after some intense workouts with no carbs. Mostly high fats and proteins so I added electrolytes to help. Any advice would be great!
Thanks
Hello everyone 222
Welcome to the forums! It sounds as though you have been making some excellent progress.
As for being Type I, you might want to check out the Type I Grit Facebook group. It is a bunch of people who have found Dr. Bernstein’s ideas helpful, and who manage their diabetes with a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet.
Dr. David Unwin, a British physician, is also associated with that group, I believe. However, the diabetics Dr. Unwin’s practice deals with are mostly Type II, and they have now reversed diabetes in over a hundred patients by treating them with a ketogenic diet.
Most Type I diabetics find that keto keeps their blood sugar in a stable, narrow range and allows them to dispense with their bolus insulin. [edited for clarity]
There are videos available on YouTube by representatives of Type I Grit and by Dr. Unwin. You might find some of them helpful.
There are a couple of other Type I physicians on YouTube besides Dr. Bernstein. One of them is Troy Stapleton, an Australian radiologist, who developed Type I at the age of forty. He has given talks at various Low Carb Down Under events, which are available on YouTube. The LCDU channel also has talks by parents of children with Type I, and by doctors who treat Type I patients. There are also videos by Mark Cucuzella, a physician in the Air Force Reserve (if I’ve got that right), who is either Type I himself or who treats Type I patients.
Hello and Welcome Jake, congratulations on the huge loss, good gains and the enormous health benefits.
I’m nearing the end of first two months so you know far more than me, just wanted to drop by with a smiley hand shake! 
I also welcome you Jake.
I haven’t responded directly because I mainly have personal experience with T2 diabetes and the chronic associated diseases associated with that.
I’m always of the belief that carefully managed monitoring, diet considerations including sleep/exercise factors, will absolutely improve your life.
On-line monitoring/insulin moderating…AI…artificial pancreas implants…we’ll wait to see.
It used to be a death sentence, but not anymore.
My best man at my wedding had an ulcer rupture in his pancreas, now he’s type 1.
He’s one of the fittest persons I know- cycles to work even though he has a car.
There are always options, so forget despair.
Thanks everyone! Can’t wait to give my knowledge from experience and gain some as well.
Can I suggest Mindpump as a resource to help with the lifting side? I sometimes watch Thomas Delauer too, but he drives me mad with the advertising as I pay premium to avoid that stuff. Eric Berg… well shudder
Check out the https://www.dietdoctor.com/ site, I also quite like https://ketodietapp.com
And welcome, always good to have more lifters onboard 
Doesn’t matter to me, but I am curious why you indicated that. He’s the only keto physician that I really know of. I’ve watched a lot of his videos and he doesn’t seem to be saying anything controversial, to me anyway.
Can’t speak for Allie, obviously. But I dislike how he pushes all his own overpriced crud, find him more sensationalist than informative, and am not at all keen on his Scientology background and likely funding from his revenue.
Horses for courses though : )
Yes, I have noticed that he will mention his own products.
For real? I had no idea he was connected to Scientology.
I first watched a couple of his videos a way back before I started on Keto, just because they popped up in my feed. I found him a bit icky back then for reasons I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
It’s only more recently that I actually found out anything about him, so I guess I can say “thank you, intuition, for your continued service” xD
He’s a doctor of chiropractic, not a medical doctor, and gives some really dodgy advice that seems aimed at selling his own products rather than actually helping people. Seems he’s either loved or hated, there’s been plenty of discussion on him here.
Try this guy, he’s a proper medical doctor who, as far as I’m aware, isn’t trying to sell his own products -
Instead of “aggregators” such as Eric Berg, Thomas Delaurer, Ted Naiman, and the like (who all tend to theorise well beyond the data, if they even cite it), I prefer to listen to actual researchers, such as Stephen Phinney, M.D., Ph.D., Jeff Volek, Ph.D., R.D.; Richard Feinman, M.D., Ph.D.; David Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D.; Robert Lustig, M.D., Ph.D.; Benjamin Bikman, Ph.D.; and David Diamond, Ph.D. And there are many others. What they all have in common is that their talks are well-documented by citations from the scholarly literature.
But I will also watch physicians such as Georgia Ede, M.D., and Michael Eades, M.D., who are not researchers but who give citations to the literature in their talks. Peter Brukner and Paul Mason are two Australian physicians who are good at looking at the data and turning it into understandable presentations. I also pay attention to citizen scientists, such as L. Amber O’Hearn and David Feldman, who do the same. And Richard Morris one of our Two Keto Dudes, is on his way to a doctorate in biochemistry. His commitment to the data makes him well worth listening to, as well.
Thomas DeLauer is always hot on citing studies / references, it’s one of the things he makes a big issue of doing.
They’re on YouTube too and give out masses of info, both free and paid for. Well worth a look if you’re not aware of them 
I’m not bothered by these guys, dr. Berg has done wonders for me and I’m in better health than ever because of him. I also like he keeps his videos short and to the point. Just take the information and ignore the ads or promoting. Everyone has to make money somehow and support themselves and family. It’s the people’s fault for buying the products anyway. I’m not mad at any sort of capitalism or branding here
Hi Jake and welcome! I’ve just started doing some free-weights, been on keto going on 2 years (come Jan. 2023) and a T2 diabetic. Things are so much better especially finding a forum with folks that have helped me so much. I like watching Delaur and Dr. Berg as well. Dr. Ben Bikman is my fave on Insulin resistance but I learn from many out there in video-land 
I also love meeting people at my gym I joined about 3 months ago now. I am 69, and lost 24 lbs in the first year I guess it was, now down to a good, normal weight for my height/bone structure, but I could see I needed to build a bit of muscle. I weigh 115 and 5’2" but things are looking better
Glad you are here and you’ll meet some friendly, helpful people!
I’ve learned a lot of good things from Dr. Berg’s videos and for me with anyone’s advice, I check other sources and compare, then decide. I’m also my own guinea-pig but I prefer that over allowing myself to be one for science or a physician’s
That’s awesome… yes I know a traditional keto diet is less protein… but since we’re lifting weights I think we need more
