Hi
@AnniebT1!
I started Low Carb Jan 2015, I did it all in at once, BUT I took NO bolus at meals, I waited 30 min / 1 hour, test and bolused as per test result, after a while I reduced the times and learned the amount to bolus. It worked out fine, but it takes a few months (or many) before you learn how to bolus for protein.
Now I take the same amount of basal and about 1/3 to 1/2 bolus as before on high carb. Latest 3 HbA1c's have been 5.8, 5.6 and 5.7, dropped from 7.9ish on high/normal carb diet. I have been a T1 for over 35 years so I produce no insulin what so ever.
Lows for me is much easier to control than before and I get less, the effect of one is much less, I can be at 3.0 and be fine. I can east 2 - 4 grams of sugar and be fine, instead of before when I needed to eat 15-30, drink one coke and then want more.
I feel much better, I did not realize how bad the high/low/high/low makes you feel.
I also did not realize how bad I feel when I'm over 8 in blood sugar, since it happened so often I did not notice it, now I do!!!
@dex44lego9 this is for you too!
