[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1757512, member: 468055"] I did this. It nearly killed me twice. I took my Lantus morning and night, but rarely, if ever took my Novorapid because I wanted to lose weight. I ended up with two near fatal DKAs, where my young son saved my life by calling an ambulance. He was only 7 at the time, and had two terrifying experiences watching me almost die. I spent a week in intensive care both times, and we’re still not sure of the long term effects. I’ve lost some feeling in my feet, and it’s possible that the fainting episodes I experience when I change position are a neuropathy. Please take your insulin, it’s really not worth the risk just to be thin. Have you considered a very low carb or keto way of eating? You still get to eat well, lose weight, and on keto I find I need very little bolus. Some days I don’t actually need any at all, except for a couple of units at stupid o’clock in the morning to beat the dawn phenomenon. But I take maybe 1-2u with a very low carb (but satisfying) meal. Sugars are in range and I’m losing weight. Sending hugs. It’s hard, I know xxx [/QUOTE]
