[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1479838, member: 240838"] I'm not having hypos at 1 unit lantus. Mostly I need two to stay steady. I don't eat carbs other than above ground veggies. I don't need to put on nor lose weight. I don't count carbs because I don't eat them. I bolus for protein. I don't like 'meals'. I like small amounts of food often. My stomach demands that. I eat very few carbs or protein bf and ramp both up during the day. Always 80% fat, 15-20% protein and 5% carbs. Works for me. I'm not tying to be edgy with you but if I eat just lettuce it spikea me without insulin and I only keep rising from there. So to imply I don't need it is ridiculous. What I don't need is lots of food requiring insulin. Different diets / different doses I could make a restaurant meal last for 4 meals. I don't like lots of food at one time. I prefer to top off the tank rather than empty and fill. I don't eat foods that make me insulin resistant. i.e. Saturated fats, too many nuts, any or all grains , starches or sugars ( kills the stomach) minimal dairy. So basically some veggies, lots of avocado, some protein and a few nuts and seeds. Bits of dark chocolate. Oh, and mayo junkie. My endo last year thought about taking away my insulin until his nurse reminded him of my GAD and c peptide. That was the end of that conversation. As minimal as it may seem it's still necessary for me. [/QUOTE]
