[QUOTE="increasingly cynical, post: 64264, member: 13842"] Hi Lucati, Thanks for your comments. I think the doctor is currently assuming that I have 'LADA'. I'm guessing that if you have Type 1 it would be expected that your BGs would go up if you cut down on carbs (as the body will assume that it is not receiving energy and will therefore turn fat into energy)?? Am I understanding that right? However, if you are taking insulin (and I assume that you must be?) I would have thought that this wouldn't happen, as you will be taking in energy of some sort and surely the use of insulin would mean that your body would recognise this? Maybe I have misunderstood something of the way in which insulin works ? I'm seeing the doctor on thursday, so it will be interesting to hear his comments (unless they are the blank '?' which I've been getting for nearly two years now!) :D [/QUOTE]
