[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1118830, member: 101136"] My take on it is this.. As good as modern "insulin therapy" is. It's not that easy for the dose to profile in sync with what you eat. Which can cause rapid highs then sudden lows..? Even with faultless carb counting, there are other elements involved. Timing of dose, the rate food is digested, insulin sensitivity & physical activity demands on any given day..? Even stuff like climate affects how insulin works.. Lol, I'm not a "clairvoyant" & my lifestyle can take my day in any direction..?! So you will find the general reasoning behind the lower carbing is to even out the peaks & troughs in the BS control. (Less carb = less bolus.) Thus lowering dangerous highs & the chances of those pesky & risky rapid lows.. ;) [/QUOTE]
