[QUOTE="Hoping4Cure, post: 1842373, member: 393050"] Wow, I didn't catch that at first. Who is teaching people how and when to take their insulin these days? Of COURSE you don't need to eat to take insulin, that's like saying you need to put your foot on the accelerator in order to hit the brakes. Not only that, but people, type 1 diabetics included, do not need to eat constantly to survive. No need for 6 small meals a day, or 3 large ones even. Two is more than enough. And eating tons of small little meals and snacks just short-circuits the body's ability to stabilize itself and keeps you taking more insulin than you need, resulting inevitably in more hypos and worse control. Smaller and fewer meals = smaller and fewer insulin shots needed = less insulin on board = less hypos due to insulin OD. It's the law of small numbers. Moral of the story, eating nachos to correct a hypo is guaranteeing a hyper later on. In other words, the rollercoaster effect. Stop the rollercoaster by stopping carb binging and then insulin binging. See Bernstein. [/QUOTE]
