[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 471046, member: 11028"] Then what do we call a 'normal diet' Diabell? I think like you I eat anywhere between 150-200g of carbs but rarely more as I don't particularly care much (or miss for that matter) cakes, sweets and puddings, however nearly all my meals contain a good balance of carbs, fat and protein, to me this is as normal as you can get but it does fall below the RDA of carbs for a male adult, however apart from being on fixed doses at the start of my diabetes journey I don't think I've ever been a big carb eater (except the odd takeaway;)). Gaining good control is much more than about DAFNE and as with any structured education course it only gives you the foundations in which to build on, I don't think any of us type 1's on the forum would be where we are now if we didn't read, test and learn from our experiences, that is why we have a good mixture of well controlled type 1's on here who eat anything from 20g of carbs a day through to 300g. As I've said before and this applies to other forum where members are on top of their diabetes despite not LC, we all have one thing in common.........and that is we are proactive in our diabetes management!!!!
