I have been following the discussion on the Atkins Diet for insulin pump users. I started with the induction phase of the diet on June 12 and am getting along nicely. I want to thank you pioneers for the words of wisdom. One day into the diet I had to change all the parameters to keep my sugar in the normal range.
For example, my bolus went from the 60% range to the 30% range while the basal did the reverse. I am finding that with low carbs, basal carries the ball. I also changed my carb ratio and insulin sensitivity.
I use a Medtronics Paradigm pump (522). I want to share my log for the past few days so you can see what changes I made to my diabetic regimen. It may be helpful for other pump users trying to get started with the diet. You can view the log online at my website using the trackback url:
