[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1717002, member: 30007"] There's an interesting phenomenon of "Physiological Insulin Resistance" that comes alongside a significantly reduced carbohydrate diet [USER=445711]@JoeT1[/USER] . The theory goes that as your body adjusts to using fats as its energy source, it reacts less to insulin in order to avoid using the limited glucose that will be needed by the brain in addition to the ketones. My experience of what this looks like is that it's around about a 10% increase in basal rate, after you've adjusted to needing less insulin as a result of reducing carbs. Net result is that it makes very little difference to your overall TDD. I can't speak for others though. [/QUOTE]
