[QUOTE="Nidge247, post: 1394334, member: 158871"] I reduced my quick acting insulin via carb counting and test test testing. My background reduced much slower over a number of weeks, continuing my usual 6-8 daily tests. (I drive a lot). I'm not currently requiring any insulin, providing no meal exceeds 30g carbs with a total of 50-60g daily total. My DSN is amazed and following things closely, but is happy with results so far. I did find I initially had too much fat, which whilst making me feel full, actually gained me some weight as I didn't exercise enough. However, with more of a moderate fat intake I'm still not hungry between meals and have adjusted my weight to my target amount, still full of energy with good BGs all the time. It CAN all go wrong with a high carb meal though - it's not a cure, but simply effective management to give a healthy lifestyle with no hypers or hypos. Fortunately I do still have good hypo awareness, and needing to be 5-to-drive helps keep good awareness if it drops below this. [/QUOTE]
