I've been experimenting with #1, and so far it's not working well. It seems that my insulin needs do not decrease at the same rate as I decrease my carbs for some reason. It's becoming frustrating.

I don't really like to have to eat a snack because sometimes I don't feel like it or it's not convenient, etc.

I might just have to fiddle around with my ratios on lower-carb and see if I can make it work.

Thanks for the input!
