[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1510969, member: 32394"] I think it's essentially due to lack of practice. If your body isn't used to you eating carbs, it forgets how to process and deal with them as efficiently and effectivly as it was doing when you were eating carbs. That's why they say before doing an oral glucose tolerance test (you're never going to do one because you have type 1) you should eat the RDA carb intake for a week or two before hand because someone on a low carb diet is much more likely to "fail" an OGTT, possibly with a false positive. I have noticed a change to my ratios on a low carb diet and would prefer to reintroduce carbs to get my I:C ratio back to where it was. I have read that it will readjust as carbs are reintroduced, but there may be a period of flux. [/QUOTE]
