[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1710901, member: 345386"] Smokeyjoe - When do you next see your Doctor or Nurse? I really would advise you very strongly to talk to them about your change in diet and how you should deal with your insulin. None of us here are qualified to tell you what to do, and we are certainly not able to recommend you change your insulin doses. That statement includes those well meaning members who happen to be using insulin. If you are reducing your carb intake, it is likely your blood glucose numbers will reduce, and potentially quite a lot, so it could well be your insulin doses will need to be trimmed back. If you have previously been seeing larger numbers when you test, you may find that when you reduce your carbs your numbers just come into line with where you want them to be, on your current insulin regime. In your shoes, I would be contacting whomever I talk to about my diabetes and insulin and ask then a few "What if" questions. The sort of thing I mean is "What if my numbers start going low? What would I do with my insulin?" You may also want to consider if you have enough test strips to cover the additional testing you are likely to be doing as you change your way of eating. I really do wish you very well on your dietary changes, but remember you are doing it to improve your lot, not to set up some scary scenarios which is a risk with fixed insulin and no formal plan of attack.
