[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 89403, member: 16982"] Hi Mrs. B You'll find that once you drop the carbs, there'll be less need for insulin and whilst you may not be able to completely cut out the novorapid as I did, the less insulin you take the less the chance of going hypo. I rarely go hypo now whereas it used to be all the time - a massive benefit for me of the low carb way of life. There will be a teething period at first when you get used to it though. I personally found it better to underestimate the amount of insulin I'd need, test regularly and adjust upwards, but everyone is different so that's only my personal view. And yes agree that glucose is the antidote to hypos. [/QUOTE]
