[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1570372, member: 221545"] No...you don't. This is simply not true. [USER=438570]@ChazE[/USER] - You need to avoid going too low in carbs purely because you are using insulin and if you go too low could hypo. This is also true of drugs like Gliclazide. Personally, I would never go below about 25g of carbs per day and I am often closer to 80-100 (more to do with taste and convenience than with any desire to keep the count up)...but I am not on any meds for my diabetes and manage purely by avoiding carbs. Provided you are eating enough protein and the right kinds of fat, you have no NEED for carbohydrates other than to satisfy cravings or possibly addiction. There is NO such thing as carbohydrate deficiency...it's a myth (probably spread by bakers ;)). [/QUOTE]
