| I'm putting the alkaline issue aside myself, just thinking about your basal drop. It's interesting that this diet is a change to much lower in refined carbs. And, to my eyes, looks pretty healthy in a veggie way, alkaline issue claims again aside (I just don't have the time/inclination to look into that right now).
The reason I say that is interesting is that I find really low carbing tends to put my basals up a bit (and my boluses down of course). Sharon, I hope you don't take all these comments the wrong way, I'm not trying to shoot anything down, just curious with people's experience. Do you feel that your bassal insulin might have been covering some of your food and diet in general, like the more generalised approach to insulin use commonly seen in type 2?
By the generalised approach I mean relying heavily on a basal insulin to provide general across board BG improvement, rather than fine tuning basal to cover just biological needs, and bolus to cover all food needs.
