After 43 years of insulin, it is safe to say I don't listen to many "myths" of diabetes. I can only speak from experience and advice from my doctors about my carb intake. I have found absolutely no reason on insulin to "low carb" and find it almost suffocating that I almost always get the "eskimo knows best" message whenever I post about my experience.

There is a danger from death due to low blood sugar in any form whether it be a car accident or worse...killing someone else....my personal goal is to never test the "eskimo theory" or any "theory" that doesn't work for me. It's not worth the risk.

I have no reason to "low carb" to the point of bad judgement. I have a responsibility to others...others may not.

I think the original point was an excellent question on a matter that is rarely discussed. Unfortunately, many deaths are reported under different categories such as heart failure, stroke and such...it is very difficult to know the true nature of the "dead in bed" situation.
