https://www.healthline.com/hea...betes-ketogenic-diet Sherila, I found this link to a keto diet for diabetics that could help you. I would definitely check with your doctor before you even consider it though. I think 1000 cals. a day isn't a good thing for you, because you are a diabetic. I'm not sure why your doctors are so strange about the j pouch thing, to me the diabetes is much more concerning. There are draw backs for diabetics and keto diet too. That's why I think you need to bounce it off your doctor. Maybe a GI would be more receptive than a GP. I so hope this at least have you something to think about.
