The problem with pork rinds
The problem i find is they are made with vegetable oils and probably worse than that. also i do not see pork rinds sold at my grocery stores, I only see them at a Chinatown grocery which to be honest a lot of their products contain bad additives i need a better source i saw someone here mention the brand Mac’s pork rinds. But at their website they do not mention what oils are used in the ingredients how can I find the most all natural pork rinds? -

Carnivore for type 1 diabetics
Another thing I’ve noticed is when I eat carnivore for several days my blood sugar profile smooths out. It will go from generally 145 average down to a more normalized state of about 100 average. Noticeably more balanced and in range but once it stabilizes like that it also triggers carb cravings. And booze cravings. Another thing I notice when it stabilizes I get fatigued and get much better rest and sleep is deepened. I think during this phase when I sleep it releases a lot of inflammation or something, I’m unsure what is happening. But eventually I get carb cravings and it only takes 1 meal (like double cheeseburgers and Cajun fries as an example) when I eat that (or another example is a whole pizza) when I eat that my blood sugar is straight up wrecked for a week afterwards. so there is a cycle: Pig out on pizza and burgers eat no carbs for a week my blood sugar begins to stabilize my sleep gets really heavy I get bad carb cravings I pig out on burgers and fries again then drink booze to calm my nerves back to no carb diet for a week and this cycle keeps repeating. -

This is why you need to be careful of cheese
Last night I did some grocery shopping which is surprisely simple as a Carnivore. beef butter bacon eggs but then the monkey came out for a little visit. So in the store I picked up a thingy of sharp cheddar, and I knew after reading an article here, sharp cheddar is one of the more addictive. So instead of getting sharp cheddar I selected soft cheese, St Albans. I ate the whole thing that night. Thus, to summarize the lessons learned: I simply cannot moderate cheese intake on my own. It has to be completely removed from my diet -

Carnivore for type 1 diabetics
I use a CGM on my arm and multiple daily injections of a long lasting and short lasting. I’ve never used a pump because I don’t want any more devices sticking on me. Tho everyone says the pump helps with A1C. my A1C has been between 6.5-7.0 for several years and it’s hard to make a dent in that because I often relapse with carbs and with booze too. But I’m trying to push through with no cheat days. The book I mostly follow is Dr Bernstein. He has a message board forum but I was banned, I forget why. I was also banned from a Reddit forum for carnivores, I dunno why, maybe I was too truthful. A couple times I met in person with a T1D group and I got good vibes but also super-duper bad vibes from some people there. So I was turned off by their in person group of T1D’s. From what I gathered though, they all wore pumps and they were eating very-high carb meals together like it was no biggie, as if very-high carb diets were no problem as long as the pump is doing its job. So I literally do not know any other T1D’s in real life and I am sociable too. One guy I know has T2D which is a much different monster, and any time I talk with him about low carb diets he has no interest in it and doesn’t want to change anything even though he has health problems from T2D. -

First post from a short time lurker.
Welcome. And I am skeptic at heart myself. This is a great place to bounce ideas off the wall and read others' experiences. Scott
