[QUOTE="azure, post: 1243754, member: 39639"] I prefer Think Like A Pancreas. Bernstein makes many sensible points and is very focussed but his actual diet is not for me. Eating a moderate level of carbs is sensible. I eat approx 180g per day, and I think that's more in keeping with many Type 1s here. I also think about all those people we hear about who've lived with Type 1 for 50, 60, 70 or even 80 years. Their 'secret' seems to be moderate carbs (way above Bernstein level) and a routine. They may also, of course, be lucky with their genes. Achieving tight control is important, but, having experimented on my lucky (!) friends who don't have diabetes, I've seen a broader range of results than Dr B allows for. So I personally aim to be below 7.8 two hours after meals, ideally 7 or below. We all vary and we all have different things to consider so each person must make their own decisions : ) [/QUOTE]
