Message: <blockquote data-quote="LooperCat" data-source="post: 1770920" data-attributes="member: 468055">I’ve been extremely low carbing (keto) for about four months now. Lots of hypos the first week as I brought down my basal insulin, but nothing that couldn’t be sorted out in a few minutes with a couple or three dextrose tablets. I didn’t start it to lose weight, but to control my BG better, but I have lost a little bit, about ten pounds. Most importantly, my HbA1c dropped from 89 to 43 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> My insulin doses have more than halved, I’ve gone from 36 to 18 units a day of basal and usually less than 6 units a day of bolus - I was taking 10-12u per meal before. [USER=266049]@Lynz84[/USER] have you tried konjac pasta? Zero carbs, and a fabulous alternative. I get mine in bulk from <a href="https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/refer/80bbab5d97d5b39068336747968434a1/Melanie" target="_blank">Holland & Barratt</a> when it’s on offer, it’s currently in the penny sale. You can get rice, noodles and a few shakes of pasta made from it.</blockquote>
