I embarked on a low carb regime which for me is 《30g per day.
This will increase the ketone which will burn the body fat as an energy source. My body fat was 68.9% now its down to 48.1%. It was 45 but I hit the carbs again.
It is advised that reducing carbs is not a good thing when taking Empaflagozin which is one of the new SGLT2 inhibitors because these can increase the level of ketones in the body.
As soon as I mentioned I wanted to stop my SGLT2 to my nurse she went into a tailspin about ketoneacidosis. Two different things but lumped together.
She said she would seek advice from the Dr 3 weeks ago but that I should continue on the Empaflagozin and carbs for now. My body fat gas gone up 3% and my numbers up to about 57 if my theory is correct.
Anyone know of any forum sections that cover this topic please?
