He had experimented with low carb and she said he now needed much less insulin and he made many fewer mistakes. This may of value to a T1.The other comment is to draw your attention to a warning on the Diet Doctor web site on this topic.Note for diabetics<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Avoiding the carbohydrates that raise your blood sugar decreases your need for medication to lower it. Taking the same dose of insulin as you did prior to adopting a low-carb diet might result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). You need to test your blood sugar frequently when starting this diet and adapt (lower) your medication. This should ideally be done with the assistance of a knowledgeable physician. If you’re healthy or a diabetic treated either by diet alone or just with Metformin there is no risk of hypoglycemia.</li> </ul><a href="http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf" target="_blank">http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf</a></blockquote>
