[QUOTE="mrman, post: 455733, member: 40510"] As you know your mixed insulin is a combo of quick and slow acting, designed to deal with both basal requirements and to deal with carbs consumed. As you are low carbing, over time, this will deplete your livers ability to release glucose when needed as there will be no stores. You would probably burn all the carbs consumed with.minimal effort. This might of resulted on a very quick drop due to the fact the quick acting element had few carbs to work with, combined with no stores, which I have found to impair hypo awareness. Nothing wrong wit that but you need to discuss with your team either reduced dosage or just a basal. But, on that regime when you do fancy a "treat" you would then get a quick spike. Not sure if a mixed insulin can be matched to carbs, as of it is then your left with a very high basal element of the mixture. I do understand that a 3. Something is a mild hypo that non diabetics get. But, with any insulin a level like that would usually suggest it would drop further all be it slower to do so in some people. I might of wrote a load of **** I'm sure someone will correct me. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
