[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2097293, member: 480869"] I am not nor have ever been on insulin so my knowledge is limited but from my readings on here I am concerned that fixed doses and low carb (which is what the sum of my suggestions would be) could lead to hypos. How often are your bloods being tested? Will the drs and nurses work with you with frequent monitoring and adjustments whilst you adjust food intake? Are you happy to speak up and demand testing and adjustments? I agree keto or very low carb would be difficult. The bread is certainly where I would start (cut it out entirely) and see what that achieves first. Baby steps to prevent hypos. As to fats: butter on veg? Nuts? Cream in coffee or on some berries? Full fat Greek youghurt? Cheese? These are to achieve satiety when dropping carbs. Adding too many whilst still eating carbs is likely to mean too much overall intake. [/QUOTE]
