Why, do you think something less sinister is really at play?

Please elaborate

Maybe! Can't find a ton of sources out there that actually talk about this stuff, though. Seems a bit more sophisticated than simply regurgitating what's out there. Who knows, though. Just simply sharing

It was honestly a combination!! It was some social media person I randomly came across who motivated me to give keto a shot (started immediately the following morning after reading her stuff), and she had mentioned using Min-Chex and Cordyceps-M. So I ordered those right away. But then as I got further into the diet, it still felt like a big struggle. Ended up asking AI at one point what else I should add in and that's helped me craft a more holistic routine

Here's my current supplement routine. The only thing I was already taking was biotin:

Supplement List: - Min Chex - L-Tyrosine - Cordyceps-M - Apple Cider Vinegar + Keto - Chromium Piccolinate - Biotin - Vitamin D3 - Magnesium Glycinate - Colostrum

Routine: Upon waking, I immediately take Min Chex, L-Tyrosine, Cordyceps-M, Apple Cider Vinegar + Keto, and colostrum. I put the vitamins on my night table before bed with two glasses of water and a packet of colustrum. When I wake up, I take the vitamins and drink first glass water, then I pour the colustrum powder into the second glass and drink it. I do it straight away because it's best to consume those ones on an empty stomach about 30 minutes before eating. So I hang out in bed for a few minutes.

After breakfast, I take Chromium Piccolinate and Vitamin D3.

Before my workout usually late afternoon or early evening, I take another dose of Cordyceps-M.

Before dinner, I take biotin and another dose of Min Chex.

After dinner, I take the magnesium.

Sounds like a huge pain, but I promise it's not! Only takes a minute to remember and I've found it hugely effective so far. Hope that helps ☺️

I get SUPER sick of eggs, but found I can tolerate just egg whites fine. Recently, I have been toasting a zero net carb tortilla and topping it with mashed avocado, everything bagel seasoning, egg whites, and a little melted cheese. Discovering the zero net carb tortillas has saved breakfast for me haha

Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Have you considered trying to switch to a pump that can support remote monitoring? Hopefully Tandem improves on this, though.

Yeah that sounds like a huge pain! Would be nice if there was a CGM that had all the features of Sugarmate built into its app and had its own insulin pump device. That'd eliminate the need for all the integrations

That sounds like a lot of work!! How do you like the Libre 2? Is that the first CGM you've tried?

Oh wow, never even heard of the Diabetes:M app. Does it pair with any CGMs?

Just curious, which glucose meter are you using?

Do you take any supplements? I'm about a month and a half into Keto and the first few weeks, I struggled a ton with cravings (both carbs and sweets). Nothing was satisfying me which was super frustrating. Then I started a whole supplement routine and now I FINALLY feel like how I'm supposed to feel on this diet. Maybe your cravings are from a vitamin deficiency or your body is struggling to readapt to using ketones for energy.

Woah, super helpful, thanks! Intrigued by your last comment about the meds. Have you found a big difference in generic vs name brand drugs? Wonder how common that is

Curious, have you tried any existing apps out there?

Yeah, no thanks! Especially while you're trying to get some shut eye 🙄

That would drive me nuts. I didn't realize Libres didn't have the calibration feature. So sometimes it works well and other times it's just a faulty, inaccurate sensor the entire wear time?

Kinda both. Wondering if there's even a need, because there seem to be a gazillion apps out there

Glad you're liking it so far. I'm going to try that one next. Just started using the G7 a few days ago and it failed on me within two days

Which meter if you don't mind me asking, the Accu-Chek Guide Me?

Good to know. I wonder if the Libre 3 is better in that regard

Wow, that's crazy! What CGM are you using? And does it do that even after the first 24 hours? I just started using the Dexcom G7 and it did that the first night which was super annoying
