[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 668489, member: 92241"] When I changed my diet to low carb, my diabetes team were skeptical, but said they would support it if I could prove I was not having hypos, particularly at night. They did a test which might benefit you if it's available at your hospital (I'm not sure how widespread it is). They attached a more basic form of a continuous blood glucose monitor to me for a week, to see exactly what my blood sugars were doing. I had to fill in a diary of food/exercise/insulin and blood sugars (The sensor didn't give me any information, it just recorded things to be downloaded by the health team at the end of the trial). I went back to see my DSN 3 weeks after the test to get the results. She showed me a graph, which displayed my blood sugars for the whole week. It was fascinating to see trends, and my blood sugars tended to follow a pattern each day. I see the diabetes team at The Royal United Hospital in Bath, in case your healthcare team don't use this test and want more info. [/QUOTE]
