[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2392224, member: 527103"] [USER=513835]@Millie74[/USER] cannot over emphasise the need for insulin. It is not something to be afraid of but something to save your life. As others have said, you will not need to give up your low carb lifestyle if it suits you but it gives you the flexibility to choose. It is very unlikely you will be offered “just” the fast acting insulin. We [B]need [/B]slow acting insulin to mop up the glucose our liver drips throughout the day. But you may also be recommended (it is not an “offering”) to take the fast acting if you see your blood sugars rise after eating. Bear in mind Type 1s who eat no carbs will need fast acting insulin. It cannot be avoided. it is great that you are happy with your low carb lifestyle but take care. I know of Type 1 who have ended up with an eating disorder due to the obsession with reducing carbs. I am not saying this is you but with Type 1, just like insulin is nothing to be afraid of, nor are carbs. [/QUOTE]
