I would definitely go for low carb. If you cut out sugar, flour, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes etc, which make BG rise (too much & too quickly in my eyes) just count the carbs in the other foods. There are a lot of foods available that you can substitute for these foods. Low carb is below 100g daily but 60 or less is better if you need to lose weight. Look out for low carb programmes, which some drs have signed up to. It’s a life changer. Started by David & Jen Unwin. Just as useful for type 1 as type 2
