[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1780449, member: 468055"] Pretty much the same as [USER=365308]@NicoleC1971[/USER] - T1 following a very low (<30g a day) carb diet to keep myself in mild ketosis. I’m doing it to keep my sugars stable and avoid the rollercoaster I get when I eat big carbs and have to take big doses. I do get a dawn phenomenon spike, which is quickly and easily dealt with (it wakes me up with a jolt of cortisol just before the liver starts dumping so I can head it off at the pass), and I sometimes have to inject for fish protein, but rarely take more than 6-8u Novorapid a day. My basal dose has more than halved too. There’s some good books to look at before jumping in, [URL='https://amzn.to/2HR4Yy5']Dr Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution[/URL] is great (he’s T1), as is [URL='https://amzn.to/2jqZM5b']The Art & Science of Low Carb Living[/URL] by Volek & Phinney. I’d also recommend [URL='https://amzn.to/2KZgGV5']The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes[/URL], by Davis & Runyan (also T1). You need to to a bit of research into it, it’s a big change to make. But I feel great on it, and I’ve dropped my HbA1c from 89 (10.%) to 43 (6.1) eating this way. [/QUOTE]
