Keto flu

Can your body go into shock after a cheat day

#2

I don’t know about “go into shock” but you can certainly feel pretty awful. If you’ve been keto for a while your body will downregulate the systems it usually has in place to process glucose. Much will depend on what your ‘cheat day’ involved & how long you’ve been keto.

Keto flu can happen anytime that your electrolytes are out of whack so yes this could be caused by a cheat day, more likely to happen early on as once you’re adapated these things don’t have so much of an impact.

KETO FLU IS NOT A THING

Carb withdrawals are, however.

#thankyou

Are you being monitored by a doctor as you cut back on insulin?

(Kiranjeet Bhabra) #7

No im not monitored by doctors but i have been chcking my BG after meals to see…usually after 4hours meals…on my normal.routine it wil be bout 10 to 12…bt with keto it was like 8 to 6 depending wat i ate

(Kiranjeet Bhabra) #8

I was eatin very less carbs…perhpas body went to a shock…body was craving for carbs

You’ll need to keep a very close eye on your blood sugar levels & insulin usage. Be worth letting your doctor know what you’re doing :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes Safi…i will be goin to meet.my doc nxt week…im only afraid that i mite get into ketoacidosis…i have been reading this forum past 10days tryin to see how type 2 diabetics.repsond to keto diet…well.out of say 100type diabetics at.list 98 of them say keto saved their.lives and in fact Reversed Keto…

Ok im not to judge any doctors perhaps mayb they are clueless…i met a doctor and casually ask bout ketogenic diets…she commented dat “you oni go into ketosis when ur urine doesnt show ketones” and my ketones on day 7 was btwn 2+…not sure whther its good or not.

Another doc.commented that if im on insulin i definitely cant go on keto diet :sweat_smile:

My own medical.doc advised me he wil.monitor me once he is back frm.holidays
