You are all having a go at me for simply reiterating the official advice diabetic clinics give. I have the email from my dietician if that’s any consolation, she said as a diabetic I’m already at a high risk of ketosis and shouldn’t do a low carbohydrate diet (<130g). This advice is not personalised for me but applies to many people. My diabetes is not a new, different form of diabetes.
Here’s the part of the email:
“I normally don’t recommend low carb diet <130g per day as you have type 1 diabetes and there is a higher risk of ketosis.”
The question is asking “how many carbs is too few?” there’s no straight answer and the fact that you are all jumping at people’s throats for sharing their opinion is bizarre.
Some of you get frustrated quite easily because the thing I say contradicts your personal experience but not everyone is the same and the fact that you assume your personal experience applies to everyone is insane.
Needless to say I made the wrong assumption that it was a T1D forum so I’m going to just remove myself
it is my humble observation that no one solution is right for everybody. A lot depends on what was eaten by your family for 5 generations before. [google the Audrey Hepburn syndrome - apparently it takes 5 generations for the dna to be changed either for good or bad]

there are good results for some following vegan diet etc. you stick to what works for you and dont take any criticism from anyone to heart. hugs!
