[QUOTE="Jon Mors, post: 2589723, member: 558578"] Thanks both for taking the time to provide this detailed advice/input. Food for thought. With the higher carb in your diet did you manage to keep your blood sugars within 4-7 or did they shoot up after the meal? We did give her a diet with about 100g carb per day for the first couple of months, but blood sugar jumped up to about 15mmol after eating (even though taking the correct amount of insulin). She is 'almost keto' and it is helping keep the sugar level stable and she's happy with the diet. We have increased basal by about 30% and it seems to be helping a bit (with reducing bolus requirement - tummy ache remains). Unfortunately NHS team aren't very helpful. [/QUOTE]
