[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1554711, member: 295621"] Considering you're recently diagnosed, I wouldn't be changing my diet radically from what it was before diagnosis. That said, change it if you want to - it's your choice. However, if you do set your basal/bolus doses, ratios and timings all on a LC, VLC or keto diet - then you will struggle if you do revert to a carb based diet and have to adjust every ratio and dose again. I eat moderate carbs as it works best for me, I've tried almost all diets available and somewhere around 180g works well for me, although it can vary from 130g-220g and still give the same results:) It's trial and error with diabetes and efficient management. In time, you'll find your ideal. [/QUOTE]
