[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1633392, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=104933]@AtkinsMo[/USER] - before suggesting he jumps into that, has he done the DAFNE course or looked at [URL]http://www.bertieonline.org.uk?[/URL] It's imperative that he learns how to manage his insulin and before I'd suggest moving any type 1 who has been type 1 for as long as this person has to low carb, they need to know, themselves, how to manage dosing. In all fairness, your quote: probably isn't that accurate - the reason I say this is that I know a fair number of long term T1s that have been well managed who are not suffering with the kind of issues your friend is, and if his insulin management is based on experience rather than testing, then he is likely to have fairly widely fluctuating glucose levels and moving on to a diet very low in carbs will result in hypos. Can I suggest that you point him at BERTiE first up and see what he makes of that and also do it yourself to understand what he will need to do with insulin, before making any suggestions about changing diet, because he is going to need your help to change his habits.
