[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 631752, member: 17713"] Crystal My insulin requirements initially on the higher fat being added in actually went up for a while whilst my body got used to the more fat. As I eat low carb my body was used to the regime it had..... Now my body is used to the fuel of fat my basals have completely stabilised back at my previous doses. I think cutting the carbs may well lower basal requirements, but if you are having more fat and your body is not used to it, then that may balance out your insulin requirements. Some products loaded with carbs are also loaded with trans fats and fats.. So it is difficult to know what changes would make to your insulin requirements until you suck and see!! The combo basal rates can be changed by 0.01 an hour, every hour of the day. I'm not sure whether the Insight will do this. Other pumps do not allow for 24 individual hourly rates to be set, and this for me has been absolutely fantastic to fine tune my requirements. I too am getting my Insight in a couple months, providing the end of their testing trials and outcomes are all positive. I can't wait for mine.... [/QUOTE]
