[QUOTE="dancer, post: 574518, member: 110569"] I've been using the general "healthy, well-balanced diet" spoken of at my diabetic clinic. Everything has been fine until recently when my DSN pointed out that several days per week I eat less than 100g of carbohydrate. She had always seemed fine with me reducing my carbs so I was quite surprised. She pointed out that I was having a few hypos (there was no pattern to them, so I couldn't adjust my insulin) and the liver needs at least 100g of carbohydrate to enable it to produce glucose to fight hypos. (She mentioned the possibility of hypos while asleep.) She then asked if I tell my pump how many unbolussed grams of carbohydrate I take for hypos. Of course I didn't always remember to do that, so she was then happy to leave things as they were because those hypo treatments brought me up to at least 100g per day on hypo days. [/QUOTE]
