Learning curb

Hey everyone.  I'm on Day 3 of my Keto journey, which is leading me to my new Keto lifestylebiggrin   The beginning has been a learning curb for sure, especially with the added task of managing type one diabetes with a low carb/no sugar diet.  What artificial sweetners are keto friendly, and which ones aren't?  Are carbs sneaking into my food regimen?   Labels can be tricky.  Sugar alcohols?  WTH are those????  I read an article  on google stating pickles and cucumbers are not keto friendly because of the lectons they carry.  They are a fruit with seeds.  Members in my keto group say they definitely ARE keto friendly, and many have lost lots of weight eating them on a daily bases.

This week has been trial and error.  I've decreased my long acting insulin, and now I'm running a little high.  Will fix this tonight.  On the bright side, I haven't had any low readings.  No sugar needed!

Of all the rotten times for a bad cough to come on.  I'm having a difficult time finding a sugar free cough drop with a keto friendly artificial sweetner.  I'm gargling with salt water, have vicks vaper rub on my chest, and drank a little pickle juice.  The pickle juice really did seem to help.

As crappy as I feel, I am not giving up my treadmill workouts.  I'm supposed to take it easy with exersise over the first few weeks, but I think a brisk walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day should be fine.   Walking on the treadmill makes me happy.biggrin

On a different note, I just found out I can only get 15 pages for free on this blog site so I'll be moving to another one.  I know bloggers is totally free and they don't limit your use.  I'll try and copy these pages and paste them on my new site.  

Thanks to everyone who's been reading along.  It helps keep me focused and motivated.  You all ROCK!
