[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 462490, member: 40343"] The question you need to ask yourself is would a non diabetic person who adopted your regime require their fully working pancreas to produce more than zero insulin. The answer is undoubtedly yes. On a 25% carbohydrate regime or roughly 125g of carbohydrates a day you will undoubtedly need some insulin. Even if you eat zero carbs you will find you will need insulin in far smaller quantities because you will need to start accounting for the protein in your diet. Although I am T2 my son is T1 who on occasions does a sub 30g regime with considerable exercise for extended periods. While he cam dramatically reduce the amount of insulin he needs he still needs some. Likewise my nieces husband is T1 he cycle's an average of 20 miles a day and also follows a strict very low carb regime and again he can dramatically cut his insulin but not eliminate it entirely.
