[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 298187, member: 16982"] Well those on insulin have more flexibility than those just on tablets or diet alone as you can increase your insulin to match the carbs. Its up to you. You can have starchy carbs, inject for them and then downsides are more hypos and weight gain ( I find) or you can cut the carbs, cut the insulin and have less hypos and less weight gain. I've done both methods, you can maintain low blood sugars on both although its far easier on low carb. I find it restricts my diet too much though. I'm trying to find a happy medium between the two approaches now. [/QUOTE]
