Hi asyarik
I was diagnosed just over a year ago. Just about everything I have learned has originated from this forum. Many of us on this form have found low carbing helps us keep our blood sugar levels under control. I started to low carb about 11 months ago, started to eat to my meter (testing my BG levels 1hr and 2hrs after eating food) and started to avoid those foods which I found elevated my BG levels. I quickly found that bread, potatoes, rice and pasta caused my BG levels to rise very high, so in no time I was down to around 100g of carbs per day, but gradually getting less and less as I started to avoid other foods that raised my BG levels. I am now down to 36g of carbs per day, and have been for the last 5 months. I am happy with 36g. I see it is a long term sustainable diet, that certainly enables me to control my BG levels.
36g carbs per day is not for everyone. It means, for example, you can not eat anything in most cafes, but I have found nearly all pubs ok. It means substituting chips for salad, for example. I eat a lot of meat and fish, with salad or vegetables. At 36g carbs per day I found it hard to sustain my weight, but this can be done by increasing your fat content. Eg by eating more fatty cuts of meat, more butter, oils, cream and cheese.
I found Dr Bernstein's book diabetic solution (£5 on kindle) a very interesting read. His 'solution' is to keep BG levels at normalised levels, with 36g carbs per day. Dr B is a qualified Dr specialising in diabetes. Diagnosed T1 age 12, given 5 years to live through diabetic complications when around 30 years old, then purchased a BG meter and started eating to it. He is now 80 years old with little or no complications, and still running his practise with hundreds of patients.
If you want to keep your quantity of injected insulin down to a minimum, low carbing is very much worth considering. Low carbing will also likely help you keep your BG lows and highs to a minimum. Eg the risk of hypos is generally considered to be less when low carbing, because everything is minimised. Dr Bernstein goes into much detail of this in his book.
Being newly diagnosed, you might still have a few healthy insulin making beta cells remaining. If you have, keeping to normal BG levels will possibly keep them healthy for longer, thus keeping your quantity of insulin down.... Just a maybe..... This is often called by Drs as being in the honeymoon period, often called LADA, which I am.
My advice, Keep trolling forum posts on this forum. You will learn so much on here. We are all different, the important thing is finding the right solution for you.
