[QUOTE="Odin004, post: 1538321, member: 406622"] Hi [USER=421443]@Eldra[/USER] - interesting to hear that you're having the same issues; if the objective in going low carb is to take less insulin, then I quite agree that there is little point in doing so if this means you have to take the same amount of insulin anyway. I managed to correct the situation by upping my carbs to about 125g for a few days - that seemed to do the trick; your initial goal of 120g therefore sounds quite sensible to me - perhaps increase carbs to this level, for a short while, to see what happens? As regards your weight, people often do lose weight on low carb diets - partly because the calories aren't always being replaced by proteins and fats; but also because lower carb diets cause you to store less glycogen, and therefore water, in your muscles (so much of the weight loss is actually water loss). Would be interested to hear how things develop - and don't worry, your English is very good!:) [/QUOTE]
