I'm a type 1 diabetic. If this wouldn't work with rapid-acting insulin, might it not be a good thing for long-acting insulin, e.g. Detemir/Levemir (which I currently take)?

I'm type 1 too, there's potential, but the same problem with degradation exist. If you eat something that slows down or speeds up digestion or alters it in any way, it could give you a lot of highs and lows. It's like how certain foods take longer for the carbs to be absorbed and cause lows first then highs later. Alcohol could be effected even more too.
