Low carb diets in diabetes management.
The Insulin Calculator is in two parts: the program “Insulincalc.exe” and the ini file “Insulincal.ini” – both of these need to be in same directory for the program to run. It’s a pretty simple program to use – you configure the program with parameters suitable for the diabetic by going to configuration and entering values in the tabs for “Blood Sugar” (currently only supports mmol/L and not mg/dl--see note below on how to convert) , “Weighting” and “Carbohydrate” for each meal – these are then stored in ini file.Note:To convert mmol/l of glucose to mg/dl, multiply by 18.To convert mg/dl of glucose to mmol/l, divide by 18 or multiply by 0.055.

This PDF contains lots of useful info on intense exercise (focused on cycling) for those with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. While it has a lot of good info I would recommend balancing it with the advice given by Dr. Bernstein with respect to exercise and diabetes specifically Chap. 14: Using Exercise to Enhance Insulin Sensitivity .
