[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 865956, member: 17713"] You do not have to eat massive carbs as a T1. There is no problem with having egg omlettes everyday providing your levels are reasonable. I eat very few carbs for a T1. Somewhere between 12-50 with milk in coffees on top. I am a size 8/10. T1 30+ tears and healthy. Carbs as in bread, pasta n rice crucify my stomach. So I tend to eat meat n veg or fish n salads. On odd occasions I will eat out the same as anybody else though... I just don't have tge rice, potaoes or other stuff that friends n family do. I ask about eating disorder as I have a young friend that has been in an eating disorder clinic for 6 months!!! And the food there was so heavily carb loaded. Her aversion was to fat... And although now discharged she does still have the aversion to fat. To me you need a balance of food.... Carbs from veg (in a salad) - there are still some.. Mine are about 9g per salad. I understand where you come from with carbs totally. I was advised to eat porridge and or toast for breakfast. I hate breakfast.. I tried and it really did nothing for me. It made my levels harder to balance...I have one meal, one pud, nuts, 2sq dark choc a day. I ensure I eat enough using myfitnesspal. I do make exceptions though....when I go to Waitrose with my hubby for a free coffee, occasionslly as I do have a yumyum. That is my husbands treat. So I join him. Its the only time and the only carby food my stomach can tolerate. If I go to Waitrose alone for a coffee then I don't yumyum. Carbs may not make your levels go high.. Not if you know and have confidence with your bolus insulin. Incidentally, and only because I care... Not for a lecture.. Do you test your bloods regularly? Were you scared by burses or GPs when diagnosed that tou would get complications? Just wondering why you worry so much about highs after food? [/QUOTE]
