I’ve been perusing the website for the past few months and have recently “joined”. I’m wondering if anyone else has T1 diabetes and how your insulin needs have changed since going raw. I’m currently finding that I can pig out on some high-carb raw foods and have decent blood sugar levels (140’s-150’s) when I’ve only used a unit or less of insulin. I’m thinking I might just be producing lots more insulin lately (dx’d a year ago) but was thinking the raw factor might be part of it. Anything cooked or processed and if I bolus incorrectly, I can hit mid-200’s easily.
Any suggestions/advice?

Thanks Hippie Chick. I am really looking for others who are in my boat b/c I would love to compare apples to apples. Most other boards I go onto won’t even think about a radical change in diet, much less dropping the whole cooked thing. And it seems that T1s are a tiny majority of the diabetes pool out there, so it’s even more difficult to find others like me.
I’m really not looking to follow anybody’s plan (unless they have been on it themselves and have some actual data to back up findings), just wondering how raw affects other T1s blood sugar levels and insulin usage.
