[QUOTE="Ethanw57, post: 1676669, member: 464012"] It's not as easy as it sounds. I'm counting the days until I can get back onto insulin (it's only a matter of time before I stop producing insulin) so I can just eat food instead of restricting my meals to x amount of carbs. If you want to take less insulin, have a chat with your doctor about starting an exercise regime to help increase your sensitivity to insulin (ALWAYS see a doctor before starting out exercise as T1, you would be surprised about what it takes to bring on a hypo). I lead a fairly active lifestyle, but my BGL soars when I've had a few days off, and dips really hard when I've had some more intense periods of exercise. 'big' doses are not a bad thing in T1, but requiring less insulin usually goes hand in hand with a lower BGL, which can be a good thing [/QUOTE]
