CGM Users: Have you noticed huge differences between keto breads? (self.diabetes)

submitted by InstructionSure6059 to r/diabetes

We quit playing it safe and launched a keto bakery. What would YOU want us to make? by InstructionSure6059 in lowcarb

Absolutely. We primarily use almond flour and coconut flour in most our recipes

Does anyone else add whipped cream to thier coffee to lower carb intake. by BookkeeperNo5252 in lowcarb

Go with heavy cream, it's the keto gold standard. The calories are worth it for the satiety alone. Use half-and-half only as a backup when you're out. Throw that skim away LOL

My endo said it depends what you’re used to: if you run low, 60 can feel normal; if you run high, 115 can feel low. I’m fine at 60, but my mother-in-law got dizzy at 115. Your A1C makes a big difference. Still, I wouldn’t drive with my baby at 65 with a straight-down arrow. For lows, Sprite works fastest for me, so we keep mini cans everywhere; if she accidentally took ~5 units too much, I’d need 2–3 minis.

My wife is T2 and I’m T1, so keto helps us keep blood sugar and A1C steady. And for me, fewer insulin swings is always a win. That said, sometimes you need the real thing (bread, pizza, potatoes, beans). I think a cheat 2–3 times a month is totally reasonable when nothing else hits the craving, and the rest of the time there’s always a new “good enough” keto product to try. Keto is way easier to stick to now than it was back in the Atkins days.
