[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 462593, member: 58178"] An interesting idea but I also don't think it could work. As someone who low carbs (less than 30g per day) I also notice a drop in my insulin needs when exercising and for the following day. However I don't believe I could get away with no insulin as I've found that protein and fat both cause a rise in my sugar levels (obviously carbs do too) so I would not be able to eat anything without taking some sort of insulin. I have heard of type 1s only taking basal with a low carb / high exercise regime but I haven't experienced this as I was on a pump when I started low carbing.
