[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2627530, member: 527103"] Why? My understanding is that [I]excess[/I] insulin can cause weight gain but if your dose is correct, there is no problem with insulin. Some people with Type 1 chose to eat low carb as they feel that with less insulin, they are less likely to make mistakes with their doses, resulting in hypos. Whilst this is true, it runs the risk of running high as we need to take insulin to cover protein which is more complex than carb dosing. Unless you have insulin resistance, I have not read any evidence that it is beneficial to my health to restrict my diet in order to use less insulin. Thank you for taking the time to understand Type 1. It is challenging when we share the same name for our condition but the treatment is different. Unfortunately, this often results in misunderstandings and inappropriate advice. I am sure it goes both ways: I try to be careful when giving any advice to someone with type 2 and believe the forum guidelines mention "cross posting" for this reason. [/QUOTE]
