The last 6 days have been a very bizarre experience for me regarding my control, more than likely it is related to the current cold snap but I have not experienced anything like this before in 2.5 years as a T1.
Basically I have had to reduce my basal from 24 units to 8 in the space of 6 days and as i'm on a low carb diet I have discovered that I don't need to bolus for meals. I was really feeling brave last night and experimented with some carb intake , I ate packet of skittles (around 50g of carbs) before consumption I was 4.5 mmol , 1.5 hours later I was 4.2 mmol (without any bolus).
If this is purely down to cold weather then I'm relocating to the North pole
