[QUOTE="Caleb Murdock, post: 241508, member: 37907"] It looks like we were at cross-purposes. I was thinking in terms of which is worse for the body. I agree with everything you say. Incidentally, the same principle applies to insulin as to diet. Many doctors prescribe Lantus for their patients because the patients don't want to take more than one shot a day, but Lanus isn't made to handle post-prandial peaks. Using regular insulin to handle your post-prandial peaks will result in lower fasting levels too, provided that you still have some pancreatic function, and that you always eat your carbs within the 4-5 hours that the shot is effective. Even though I wasn't eating a low-carb diet, I got my A1c of 6.2 by carefully shooting regular insulin before all my meals. By making one of those meals carb-free, I was able to take just 2 shots a day. [/QUOTE]
