Keto works well, but I'm concerned about the extreme fat intake. I did manage to lower my A1C from 9s to mid 5s using Keto as a T1D, but eventually settled into a high protein, moderate fat, low-ish carb diet and that has worked pretty well without being hyper-restrictive. Heavily inspired by the late Dr. Richard K. Bernstein.


I target for high ketones (1.5+) & low glucose 4-5mmol (blood test 1 hour after wake up) and higher protein interferes with both of them.


Curious - what's the reason for targeting ketone levels?
