[QUOTE="Riri, post: 306940, member: 32297"] I do the same Sam. Cutting my carbs back has helped me in other ways too - lost 2 and a half stone and now weigh 9 and a half stone which is much better for my height of 5'4" . The real bonus for me, like you though, is not having to take large amounts of insulin in one go (dont like to put in a bolus of over 3.5/4 units at one time). It all stems back to the hypo I had when I went unconcious in the office - I've remained fearfully of hypos ever since. That's why this week has been a nightmare. Went to see doc today because I had pain in left leg and still high BSs - he told me not to worry, to test before and after meals and to wait another few days to see if it improves. He was really quite flippant and not any help at all. So on goes the extra insulin for the time being. [/QUOTE]
