[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 437577, member: 45322"] Hi mentat, PhD astrophysics here! I don't know much about it, but perhaps it could be "brittle diabetes". Maybe someone who has experience in it could comment whether it sounds like brittle diabetes. I agree with Noblehead though, I'd get yourself to an endo. Altogether through, you've done remarkably well to get a good hba1c with things all over the place, as they are. Now let's get down to some maths... If you cut your carbs then swings in your ratios won't lead to such swings in your BGs. If one day you eat something that requires 5 units and then the next day it needs 10, but you inject 5, then you'll end up high. But say you cut down so that on day one you eat something that needs 2 units and then the next day you need 4, but inject 2, you'll probably be ok. Likewise, your hypo frequency will reduce and they won't be as severe. [/QUOTE]
