Keto vs Insulin Therapy: Are We Treating or Just Managing?

Keto can help with glucose stability but it’s not a replacement for medical treatment

Insulin therapy treats the underlying deficiency diet just supports it.

Some people use both together and get great control

Insulin therapy keeps things safe when diet can’t cover everything

Treating vs managing really depends on the type of diabetes

Some feel keto gives them better daily consistency than meds alone

Insulin is foundational diet is a tool stacked on top

For many keto lowers total insulin needs which feels like better treatment

Keto works best when monitored and not used as a solo strategy

But going off insulin when it’s medically necessary isn’t treatment it’s risky
