[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2285187, member: 362123"] Your diet is certainly not low carb, with the bread, rice or potatoes, granola etc. The lower numbers are good, but in using insulin you have to be careful that these are not dropping down really quick and that this isn't a sudden downward trend. Are you on a fixed mixed insulin?. If not you need to start working out dosing and making sure they don't continue to keep going lower and lower because if you have made further changes to your diet the dose you are taking may well end up being too much. When low carbing insulin may have to be adjusted if you make it even lower. [B]Call if you think you need more info or advice from your team on this. [/B] The feeling like you are hypoing could be a number of things, your body is not used to lower numbers after a long time of high readings. It could also be the insulin is not matching the food now and maybe a little too much, so levels drop a bit too quick. This happens to me sometimes if the amount is too much. Check out the red link below for diet advice that is often given to new members here, even though you aren't new to diabetes. You may find it helpful. And welcome! [/QUOTE]
