I'm a type 1 but also have heart disease so have been told can't have fats except for good fats. What do you call low carb? How many carbs do you have in a day? Type 1's surely can't go without carbs or meds or will die?

I've been a type1 for 27 years but not on a pump. I've found rightly or wrongly that if I've got a high blood, sometimes when it goes to over 24 & I feeling like ****, I just give myself a shot of about 10u of Novorapid & i feel better in minutes!

Usually they will make you something that is not in the menu? I tried it when my mum was in hospital for 8 weeks & they made her what she wanted within reason haha except for steak & chips! Sent from my SM-A310F using DCUK Forum mobile app

I'm type 1 & don't have any sugary drinks except when I have a hypo but then it's only orange juice. Sent from my SM-A310F using DCUK Forum mobile app

Ok thanks everybody. I think I will try a lactose free milk to put in my tea & coffee! Lol

Thanks JuicyJ. Do you even count if you have a splash of milk in tea? I have not counted it before as usually a small amount. I always have a cuppa before going to bed so can't really take a shot can I? I was considering buying lactose free milk?

Hi, does anyone get bs spikes after drinking Milk? I'm finding mine does after consuming any food with lactose in it?

Hi BrianTheElder, This pot says naturally occurring sugars? If that means fructose it's a no go surely? My diabetic dietician tells me to avoid any sugars where the name ends in "ose"?

I use mine to cook my porridge in the morning. Can't do without it!

Being a type 1 I need carbohydrates!

The conclusion of the whole of this thread is that now I am totally & utterly confused! I have always tried to manage my diabetes the best I can & had relatively good control over the last 27 years I've had it. The risk of heart disease & stroke is with everyone that is diabetic so who do I...

TheBigNews, I hear what you say but I can't really go ahead & take such a large dose can i without the advice from my gp can I? I only take 10mg as it is but I was on anverstatin & simverstatin before but had bad side effects so I was switched over.

Hi TheBigNewt, I was already on a statin long before my HA & Tia & I'm on Pravastatin? I'm still on the Clopidegrel but not the Aspirin after 2 years after my stent. My original point was that my consultants in cardio say I should stay away from saturated fat & salt but people on the LCHF diet...

I was just wondering if you are on a LCHF diet for type 1 diabetes, what do you call low carbs? Is it just a maximum of carbs you have in a day & what type of carbs is it? Thanks

Thank you all for your advice [emoji16]

Thank you for the feedback but my point is that heart disease & stroke is a complication of diabetes whether 1 or 2? Surely everybody should be singing from the same hymnbook? Too much saturated fat (& that includes butter) clogs up your arteries & too much salt increases your blood pressure?

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 27 years now & have not got many complications from it, hah, I still have my limbs, relatively good eyesight (the DVLA say I'm ok to drive)! But what I have got which only happened in the last 3 years is firstly I had a TIA (Whoa! Wake up call)! Then a heart...
