[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 657858, member: 45322"] Any reduction in carbs improves your insulin dose precision. There's a 20% error in carbs on nutritional labels, a 30% error in the amount of injected insulin that enters your blood and if I gave you a plate of food, you'd guess the amount if carbs wrong by about 20% (according to a study). Ever had a meal and had an unexpected high or low, despite injecting what you thought was the correct amount if insulin? Well, this could be why. If you lower your insulin dose, you lower your exposure to error. A 20% error on insulin injected for, say, 20g of carbs won't mess your levels up, but a 20% error on 100g carbs will. [/QUOTE]
