Just interested to know of anyone who follows a low carb regime whilst using a pump. I have adopted the low carb approach for several months now - max 50g carbs per day- and have had great success - although there has been in the odd lapse here and there. I am currently on Basal/Bolus regime using Levermir twice daily and a combination of NovoRapid & Humulin S.
I completed the Dafne course in the summer and have now been informed by my diabetic nurse that if I wanted one she would happily recommend me for pump therapy. As I have made excellent progress since following low carb regime I am reluctant to change anything if it is merely just for the sake of it.
I suppose what I would really like to know is if anyone has experience of the usual Basal/Bolus regime versus the pump whilst on Low Carb - and what their experience has been - ie. improved control/lifestyle etc.
Many thanks in advance to all who may answer.
Fletch.
