[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1943612, member: 468055"] Hi, I eat fairly low carb at Dr Bernstein’s recommended 30 g a day - I also don’t eat breakfast! I’m not doing it to lose weight, I’m doing it for BG control, and it’s working really well, my HbA1c is down to 37 from 94 a year ago. What sort of level of carbs do you want to aim for? You’ll need to reduce your basal pretty much straight away, and keep hypo treatment to hand as you make the change, as you’ll go low a fair bit. I’d recommend starting on a weekend, so that you don’t hypo all over the place at work ;) If you can tell us a bit more about your insulin regime and doses, general control etc, we can give better advice :) [/QUOTE]
