I am healthy, I don’t have diabetes or insuline resistance. I started eating keto about 3 years ago to finally loose stubborn weight (spoiler: I lost it). I have been eating keto/low-carb since then, in addition to Intermittend Fasting (18:6 - 20:4 mainly), just because I feel best this way. So far some background.
I do have neuropathy in my fingertips and in the soles of my feet. This neuropathy are the remains of chemotherapy years ago.
I notice that in the rare cases that I do eat sugar (real white sugar, in cookies and cakes etc.), my neuropathy feels much much worse, mainly in my feet, when I am in my bed at night.
Is there a connection? Is there science behind this?
