Thank you all for your replies. Yes she is pretty much off insulin for the past week or so. We didnt do it by choice, she was going hypo every night when she was on insulin.
When she eats around 30g of good carbs per meal she needs no insulin. She spikes to around 200 and then back down to 100 within 4 hours all by herself no basal no bolus in time for the next meal. There have been no nightly hypos since she went off insulin either.
If she eats more than that or eats bad carbs like juice or pancakes or similar she spikes higher stays there longer. It only happened once. We gave her insulin and she came back down albeit she was already on her way down.
So she eats 90g of good carbs a day and needs no insulin. This is less than what we were advised around 150 which led to me posing this thread. Thinking back, if i remove all the junk she used to eat prior to diagnosis she was still eating similar to what she eats now. All we have essentially done is replace white rice with brown and bread with whole wheat and taken out juices and replaced chocolate milk with goats milk.
We also have a cgm so we watch her glucose like a hawk.
Hope this helps clarify
You are clearly doing a great job. I had a honeymoon period where I used next to no insulin on some days, none on others and more on another day. It's all about managing it of course but it's good that you HAVE the insulin to use when it's needed. x
