When eating a low carb diet, should we change the way that the MDI model is used?

[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 843294, member: 11028"] Although I don't technically low-carb now myself (180g a day) experience has taught me like many other type 1's that the traditional methods of carb counting and bolusing goes out of the window when you follow a LC diet. You've already highlighted the reasons why Tim and to me its just a case of trial & error when trying to adjust your insulin for a LC diet, there's talk about TAG and other approaches but the one that works best is T & E and learning from the results, pretty much as you are doing now. Just one thing, could you not leave a bigger gap between injecting and eating and just use the Actrapid insulin rather than using the Apidra as well, the longer profile of this insulin should match the slow breakdown of the protein and fats better IMHO........ but it does takes a while to kick-in.
