[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2404649, member: 196960"] With weight loss your basal will need reducing on low carb diets. Give it a few days of adjustments and with less circulating insulin your basal will be used more effectively. Test heavily and adjust accordingly. Because I'm type2 (most likely) I adjust constantly. I get bored with the same foods and experiment with high protein meals. Basal insulin is great for me whilst metformin isn't as effective during a new repair to a bariatric operation which is more common than 2/3rds of bariatric ops. Touch wood I've only had 1 hypo in a year. Rebounding hypos from Carbs started but I kick it into place with Protein. Obviously I hv a different system than yours but insulin need is insulin need. Are you looking to lose weight or more calmer bg peaks and troughs? [/QUOTE]
