Yes, people with type 1 diabetes for over 50 years may experience more frequent low blood sugars and use less insulin. This can be due to changes in insulin requirements, reduced food intake, or other age-related factors. It's important to adjust insulin doses and monitor blood sugar levels closely.

Thanks for the answer. I always ate the same things for breakfast, lunch and dinners just rotating them. I have reduced my insulin and always have some carbs with me. Just wondered why it happen.
