Have you noticed a huge decrease in insulin requirments after going keto? I started at 140 units of Lantus a day, have decreased to 70 units, and am having lows today. I have an appointment with my Endo in a few weeks, just wondering if the is a common occurance.

    I was originally diagnosed as Type II, further testing verified Type I ...

    Not only did I reduce bolus insulin, I eliminated it. I use only basal insulin. I eat low-carb enough to not need the basal, and time my higher-carb meals to coincide with intense exercise (typically between 30-45 minutes prior to exercise) to limit post-prandial spikes.
