[QUOTE="Zebediah, post: 893958, member: 189238"] I am struggling to understand whats going on, so i thought i would throw it open to you all to see if anyone could shed any light on this... A recent thread asked how much basal insulin people were taking and i thought mine was low at 2 or 3 units. It made me wonder if i even needed the insulin. Anyway, i completley forgot my basal injection yesterday morning and i had no real change to my blood sugar readings. (i deliberatley did not take basal this morning) [B]Here are some pertinent facts:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]diagnosed type 1 2 years ago. [*]have been injecting for 18 months [*]Low carbing High fat for 6 months [*]my carb intake at each meal is only 10 to 15 carbs, mainly leafy veg. [*]I use the Freestyle Libre continous blood glucose monitor. [*]The button i currently have, is being remarkably accurate - within 0.2 of my check glucose measures. [*]my readings have been and still are (even after not taking basal) between 4 and 5.8 [*]Except last night when it went down to 3.8 until i woke up - then it rose to 4.7 within minutes. [*]i am having to pop glucose to push my sugars above 5 so i can flippin drive! [*]As an experiment i stopped taking my bolus yesterday and today, and BGs stayed below 5.5 (bolus is normally only 1 to 1.5 per meal) [*]My blood ketones tested at 0.3 yesterday. [*]When tested at diagnosis i had 2 antibodies (can't remember names... GAD?) [/LIST] Is it possible i am producing my own insulin? Has anyone else experienced this...? can beta cells regenerate? thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
