[QUOTE="Geri, post: 332286, member: 31848"] Hi, I am also a brittle diabetic, caused by lack of hormones I think. Im poly-glandular type 3 but also borderline Addisons as my cortisol hormones are under the norm but not enough to put me on meds, yet. I also am on a low carb diet, not as low as 30 gms carbs per day, but around 60 - 70 per day. I take a very small dose of basal and bolus insulin, usually 2.5 - 3 units when I eat carbs. I have found that this helps my control although I still get sudden drops in bs levels and I can also go high due to other hormone interuption. I have also found that it is a healthy way to eat and it has made me feel much more in control. :) [/QUOTE]
