Default Type 1, Atkins, and Exercise

How do you get them to all work together?

Okay, so I'm trying Atkins again for the third time. My first two times failed because I could never figure out my insulin and I kept crashing (well, and that plus I'm not much of a meat eater). Since I have hypopglecemia unawareness this is a potentially deadly situation. But I'm so tired of being fat so I'm trying again.

How do y'all figure for exercise? I can't do even light exercise without experiencing a sharp drop in BS - sometimes by as much as 100 points. I usually exercise after dinner and skip or decrease my evening dose of humalog to account for it. But even if I eat all 15 allowed grams of carbs for dinner it won't be enough - I normally eat 30 or so carbs for dinner and I still sometimes get too low after exercise and have to eat some sugar afterwards.

Also, how do y'all figure your induction? Do you just not count the days you crash and have to eat some carbs, and begin the next day as day 1 all over again?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
