[QUOTE="smidge, post: 462611, member: 29301"] Adam does say that his doctors are involved in this experiment with him, but I am very surprised that any doctor would have anything to do with this. Now, if Adam is actually LADA rather than Type 1, he might have enough residual insulin production to make a basal-only regime a possibility with hard exercise and a very low-carb diet. The insulin he is on is a good one for that type of approach as it has a very distinct peak at about the 6 hour mark and allows you to time it so the peak covers two of your meals if you split the dose morning and evening, but it isn't suitable for a full Type 1 and will only work for LADA while there is enough residual insulin production. Stopping the basal as well would be madness. Smidge [/QUOTE]
