[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 162832, member: 11028"] Nicknak, Both carb reduction and exercise are great ways of reducing weight slowly, as a fellow type 1 you will need to adjust your insulin accordingly to suit the reduction in meal-time carbs and exercise, ask your diabetes nurse for advice on reducing your bolus/basal insulin's. I notice you say your bg's are running around 10 mmol, have you asked about any carb counting courses such as DAFNE in your area? The DAFNE course teaches type 1's to dose adjust their insulin correctly to the carbs they consume with their meal, this way it keeps bg within the recommended guildlines both pre and post meal-times, it also covers subjects like exercise and insulin, sick day rules and how to weigh and calculate your carbs, so if you haven't done a carb counting course I suggest you ask your dsn or diabetes consultant.
