[QUOTE="cookie13, post: 1107912, member: 142102"] Hi, I started low carbing in November 2015 and had a very similar experience - I posted on here about it at the time but nobody else seemed to have had similar problems. Like you I started to think was it worth it but I persisted with the low carb diet and eventually things stabilised to the point that my HBA1C has come down substantially to 49 and I have significantly reduced my insulin requirements from 18 - 20 units of novorapid per day to around 9-10 and my levemir dose from 16 to 9. I am currently feeling extremely well but it has been a long journey with lots of hypos and no support from my hospital team, who were anti LCHF. There are alot of people on here who are extremely knowledgable which is really helpful but I just try to do the best I can as I just don't have the time to research everything. I just feel that for me personally it has taken my body a bit of time to adapt to a new diet but like others on here I do find that I am very carb sensitive now and if on occasion I want to go off the rails a bit - it really messes things up for a couple of days. I also signed up for a libre and finally got one in december and it has really helped me to see what is going on with my blood sugars, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to use ! Persevere with the low carb diet, it is definitely worth it !!! [/QUOTE]
