[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 728560, member: 93179"] Are you replacing your "lost" carbs with sufficient fat and protein - you need either carbs or fat to supply your energy, so you need to make some adjustments here too, especially if you're doing a lot of exercise. Some people can suffer from "low carb flu" whilst their body is adapting to its new low carb regime. Drinking plenty of water, and ensuring you take enough salt should help, but things should improve. I'm type 2 so can't really advise you re insulin, but I believe you may need to adjust your doses to accommodate your lower carbs intake. Robbity [/QUOTE]
