I am type 1 Diabetic following a low carb diet approach and am interested to find out what supplements, if any, people are taking to supplement a low carb diet. I try to stick to below 50g per day carbs. Daily menu looks something like this:
B/Fast - Bacon/eggs/mushrooms - fried in butter.
Lunch - Tuna/egg salad with oil dressing.
Dinner - Chicken Stir Fry - mixed veg topped with cheese.
Snacks - Brazil nuts - Salami slices - cheese.
Also interested to get any advice re Vitamin D supplements. I have for the last 6 months been suffering with hand phorisis but is does seem to respond quite well if I get plenty of sunlight - not always that easy as I live in Manchester. Doctors have prescribed steroid cream/vitamin creams/moisterisers but none have really helped. It is my understanding that the body produces Vit D as a response to sunlight so wondered if using a Vit D supplement would be a good idea.
All thoughts welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Fletch.
