[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2258147, member: 480869"] Totally agree medical help is recommended. Also agree very careful monitoring is needed to avoid hypos. But please take care not to make it sound like low carb and insulin use together are incompatible. It might unnecessarily put people off trying to improve their diet this way. It is not a forgone conclusion people will hypo. Yes it’s a possibility if not done carefully with guidance and it is right that people are made aware of this to ensure they do it carefully. If someone has an hb1ac of 85mmol it suggests continuously high bgl. Even whilst on insulin a [B]gradual and carefully monitored[/B] lowering of carbs will bring these numbers down to a safer and more desirable level. Some drs will remove insulin/swap it for other meds quicker than others hence need to discuss it first unless the person is confident with self adjusting doses as normal part of their insulin treatment.
