[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2065573, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=311368]@noyahO21[/USER], I am in Adelaide. I do very low carb diet and use a ratio of insulin to carbs to calculate bolus doses for meals, with more insulin needed for breakfast ( I unit per 6 g carbs = (carbs + 50% g of protein) vs 1 unit to 10 g carbs= (crabs + 50% g of protein) for dinner. The night time hypos I would have thought to be more related to long-acting insulin doses. And with very low carb diet both my bolus doses (as expected with less crabs than before) and basal ( low continual type doses of short-acting insulin sort of equivalent to what your long-acting doses do) reduced. I do not see what DAPHNE did for you but I would not expect the type of fluctuations seen on the Libre record you posted for someone on a very low carb diet (e.g. 30 g carbs per day) except if there were a lot of hypos and of course the Libre does have reported inaccuracies when used for some people. I thought DAPHNE tended to encourage hi carb diets, and eating what one likes and trying to match insulin to that. Very low carb diet to me is more about matching food type and intake and resultant slower and more gradual and less high BSL rise to the action of the short-acting insulin used. Best Wishes!!
