[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1710906, member: 41816"] [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] is correct - changing your way of eating when on insulin requires careful testing. Even more so if you are on fixed insulin. If you cut your carbs too quickly you risk hypos. The advice is very different for people on basal and bolus insulin, with multiple daily injections. Having said that, if your blood glucose was always high, then it suggests that you were probably eating too many carbs for the amount of insulin. So you may have some room to manoeuvre. But i suggest it should always be with the knowledge and advice of your medical team. What is your target blood glucose range? And what are your readings now you have dropped some of the carbs? I don't take insulin and none of us can advise you on adjusting doses, but i would urge you to make diet changes very gradually, test regularly, and make sure your diabetic nurse knows what you are doing.
