I was diagnosed diabetic 4 years ago, I've been on low-carb since then. Really helps keep the glucose numbers steady.
After a while I pushed it to very low carb, high fat which helped a lot more. It also helps my brain (5 strokes).
So I asked my neuro about ketogenic. I take anti-seizure meds alas, with side effects.
Neuro says keto is only for epilepsy, which I don't have.
I want to know if there is anything dangerous about ketogenic at this point. Since I've been pretty close for 6 months, and it's been helpful.
I'm looking for a more helpful neuro - one who also knows about recent diabetes treatments. but doc shopping isn't easy.
Any thoughts?
