Message: <blockquote data-quote="GrantGam" data-source="post: 1260835" data-attributes="member: 295621">I initially had around a 60% drop in basal requirements when knocking back the carbs. This drop was then increased a good bit with shifting some body fat. I suppose the hard and fast of it is that regardless of quantities, you'll always need both basal and bolus as a T1D. Weight loss, diet and exercise will help to reduce requirements and increase sensitivity but never eliminate the need for insulin. Grant</blockquote>
