[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2088358, member: 365308"] I get the curiosity about how it all works. I take 0.78 hourly basal novo rapid and 1-1.5 units to cover low carb meals with protein except for Fridays when I eat more carbs (can't resist the home mande scones at work). Am worried about getting insulin resistant so try to minimise the insulin via lchf. I do notice that the heavier I am the more insulin I need and whilst pregnant I got very insulin resistant (this also happens in puberty as the body's way of growing in both instances). Other interesting take on type 1 for me was that according to Benjamin Bikkman (expert researcher in glucagon and insulin), type 1 could be re classified as a disease of insufficient suppression of pancreatic alpha cells. Endogenous insulin suppresses glucagon from the alpha cells whereas exogenous insulin doesn't hence our basal dosing requirements. [/QUOTE]
