[QUOTE="Agnes14, post: 2034728, member: 505057"] Hi! I'm new to posting here, been type 1 on insulin for over 20 years. I'm looking for advice. I started following a low carb diet about 1 month ago which is fantastic during the day - very few hypos. However despite repeatedly reducing my dose of background insulin and now taking NO lantus at all (my usual background insulin) and not taking ANY insulin after 7pm I spend most of the night with my blood sugar under 3! The constant repeated hypos are exhausting me- I'm having 3 a night! I don't understand why this is happening as I'm thinking there should be no active insulin during night? (the amounts of fast acting I do take for meals during the day are fairly small ie 4 units for dinner at 5.30pm...) Do any other type 1s have similar issues with low carb? [/QUOTE]
