[QUOTE="azure, post: 1303994, member: 39639"] There's a lot of info online. I've been googling/reading in my quest for 'the perfect diet' for years. I read, process and keep any interesting bits of information in my head to amend my own personal approach to Type 1. The only issue with googling is if you're googling specifically for Type 1 you still tend to get general and Type 2 results so it needs a bit of picking through to sieve out the information you're interested in. I use 'Search this page". A couple of links that I remember: [URL]http://freetheanimal.com/2014/10/physiological-resistance-carbohydrate.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/does-eating-low-carb-cause-insulin-resistance/#comment-3087940[/URL]. (Read the comment and then scroll to the top of the page for the article) Info about the effect of fat: [URL]http://www.joslin.org/dietary-fat-can-affect-insulin-requirements-in-type-1-diabetes.html[/URL] As for personal examples of physiological insulin resistance in Type 1s, then there are many. I've seen some here - some implicit and some explicitly stated, and some on other major diabetes forums. The thing that struck me reading those was that the people used a lot of insulin even though their daily carbs were low and/or found that if they ate a small amount of bread or whatever their ratio was hugely increased from what it had been prior to the start of LCHF. On moderate carbs my insulin doses are low - low basal, good ratios, excellent insulin sensitivity - and my HbA1C is very good. Although I hope for a cure every single day of my fun (not!) Type 1 journey, I don't think it'll be for a few years and I don't want to add IR to my burden and mess up my insulin sensitivity. As Tim says above, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
