Keto macros + type 1 diabetes

[Typeonefit]

Hi everyone, im new to the forum I did read quite a few posts but in all honestly there are so many and I did use the search tool but could not find my answer.

2 questions really,
1) I am a type 1 diabetic and I know a big part of daves ketogenic diet is to limit insulin release . As a diabetic, protein + fat meals still require an insulin shot obviously not as big as a carb meal
but a few IU non the less. How does this change my results if any? Does this diet still work for me?

2.) In respects to the fat macros, I am currently 215 so technically my fat intake should be about 107g according to the 0.5g of fat per lb. here is my dilemma

following daves protocol:
meal 1: 5 whole eggs (25g fat)
meal 2:whey shake + pb (8-10g fat)
meal 3: almonds chicken (28g fat)
meal 4: whey shake + pb (8-10g fat)
meal 5: 8 oz salmon (28g fat) *he suggests oil with the salad/greens that would be 14g fat I skip this as already my total fat consumption is about 103-105
meal 6: supposed to be 4 whole eggs + whites (20g fat) but again I skip this as my fat intake
already maxed out so I eat 8 oz chicken breast instead

that is a significant amount of fat I am "skipping" and I am
wondering how essential it is to include these but it would put me WELL over the 0.5g of fat per lb of body weight . The diet just doesn't add up as posted for a 200lb man.

Please let let me know what I am to do! Thanks in advance

Where are you getting your fat calculations above for each meal?

[Typeonefit]

Typically from food labels however I use an app that will calculate for you as well. The app is called "my fitness pal". Are my calculations incorrect?

[black-elephant]

Apps are typically estimates and food labels are a little better. Try to take in a reasonable amount of fat per meal rather than eliminating fat from a meal completely. As your body adjusts to fats over carbs you will be able to adjust to what is working best for you. You may notice a significant decrease in your insulin needs. As a type 1 myself, I have some days in ketosis when I do not require more than a unit or two with a meal.

Ok thank you man.
so you suggest for that salad to have some oil with it as well as the last meal some type of fat? Regardless of the suggested 0.5g of fat as recommended ?

[black-elephant]

Try to think of it this way. If you are eating five meals a day, eat 0.1g of fat per pound per meal. Some meals will obviously be a little more or less, however a balance of the intake allows your body to "anticipate" receiving more which allows it to be used as fuel.

yeah id keep it simple and take those 107 grams of fat a day and divide them evenly over 6 meals. roughly 17 grams a meal. not eating too much of any one macro in one meal will also help u keep your blood sugar stable. keep in mind excess protein can turn into glucose as well
