I am currently using an Insulin Pump, T1D, with Humalog U100. I have 5 basal rates set. I just started 2 weeks ago utilizing Dr. Bernsteins Methods from his Book Diabetes Solution. BGs dropped from around 200 to between 70 and 95 on average. My question(s) is/are: Are there other pumpers out there that are using Dr. Bernsteins methods and what are your thoughts and results?..I have upload the last 2 weeks of my BGs so everyone can see the drop in my BGs using Dr. Bernsteins 6/12/12 Carbohydrate Diet…I’ve also lost 15lbs so far…getting so little bolus insulin now should I think about redoing my basal rates which range from 1.30 to 1.70 over 24 hours?BG2.pdf (31.6 KB)

I read the book mid-July and have been mostly following the diet ever since. Also a pumper, CGM, on Novolog. The changes have been surreal and I feel amazing.
I’m not as strict, but I’ve been mostly following a low-carb diet for a couple of months now. I do slip up every few weeks, it seems. My blood sugars are definitely more stable eating low carb, but I still don’t stay completely in range most days (my range is 70-145). Glad that you are doing so well!
