[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 779548, member: 16982"] I just wanted to post up that I've been doing ketogenic low carb (<30g / day) for the past four weeks during which time I have lost 9 lbs, dropped my base insulin from 20u/day to 12u/ day and pretty much completely dropped my novorapid completely. My blood sugars are stable at around 6-8 and it's about as close to not actually being diabetic as you can get! (apart from the fact that you can't eat many carbs obviously) I think I've realised the key is to have lots of recipes up your sleeve, and for me, low carb substitutes such as low carb bread, pasta and rice are helping. I'm planning to do another four weeks of ketogenic to get 1 stone off, then maybe increase to around 50-60g per day with occasional treats in order to maintain, or even better continue to lose weight very slowly. I've finally admitted carbs are not my friend, even though in theory as a functional type 1 we can eat them and inject to cover, in practice that never really worked with me except in small quantities.
