I have continued to eat what I want pretty much since being diagnosed 18 months ago. My honeymoon period ended at around the 6 month mark.
I can eat anywhere between 150 - 300g of carbs a day. My control is still very good so it works well for me. I’m averaging 75% in range so find what works for you
As other people mentioned, low carb diets are great for people keeping an eye on weight or helping with control.
