[QUOTE="azure, post: 1554069, member: 39639"] We all need to choose a diet that suits us :) The keto diet is very popular at the moment, but it's not a magic bullet for Type 1s. I've come across a number of Type 1 people on keto diets who end up taking just as much if not more insulin eating minimal carbs as they did eating far more carbs. I believe that's because the keto diet causes physiological insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the last thing I want! Many people on keto diet and injections end up injecting 10 or more times a day to control the delayed rise from protein and fat. The high level of fat in the diet can cause insulin resistance too. Injecting for protein is harder than injecting for carbs, so I make sure to have carbs with my protein so I can basically ignore it. I personally eat approx 180g carbs a day, spread over the day. Over the years, my daily carb amount has varied from around 120g to 220g. If you're looking for a diet to help inflammation, there are various Paleo diets that claim to help. These contain a moderate amount of 'safe' carbs and avoid foods linked with inflammation. You could look at those, maybe :) [/QUOTE]
