Type 1 Diabetic on Keto/low carb diet

Options
Hi,
I started Keto diet 3 weeks ago. So far I Cut my Insulin by 70%, lost 10lbs and balanced my glucose levels. Has anyone experienced long term side effects on type 1 diabetes under keto diet?
Thanks for your responses.

    I have been following this MFP group for going on 4 years and some Type 1's do post about their experiences with Keto and seem to be good to answer questions on the subject.

    Over the years it has reversed the negative looking numbers on my lab reports plus I have maintained a 50 pound weight loss for nearly 4 years now. I was more in the prediabetic group.
