[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2406307, member: 365308"] So the average diet has about 240g a day so you're right to say your diet isn't carb heavy but is higher than what I'd eat as a low carber (about 90g a day max.) and yet you're needing more insulin to cover it which then needs you needing more and more. A good analogy is the clothes are the carbs your insulin/you is trying to stuff into an overfilled suitcase (your cells). Some people have less room in their cells than others and others can use huge amounts of insulin but simply get fatter without being insulin resistant. As a type 1 you are obviously very aware of what you eat plus the amounts of insulin you're injecting. [B]I am not trying to get you to eat a lower carb diet or criticise what you are doing but just trying to open your mind to the idea that eating more protein and fat but less carbs may help you reduce your insulin resistance better than drugs alone. The hba1c is only 1 part of your results because if you're insulin resistant and having to take more insulin then this is linked to cardiovascular risk and not just from the weight gain.
