[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2360921, member: 365308"] I get it and I've been there. It is a thing for type 1s who are taught that they 'need' carbs and encouraged to eat them to avoid hypos. When you try to avoid them your body can feel like it is going low when it is not just because you've got used to higher sugars. It remains true that you're going to have to find a first step IF you want to change this pattern. I am in no position to preach about this because it took me a few years to be ready to do this and you may need help from an eating disorders specialist. As you've found this isn't about finding low carb subs for your favourite foods but more about changing your relationship with these kind of foods. I truly hope you can find a way that works for you given that my own period of carb addiction probably contributed to my losing some sight in my early 30s (also 20 years post type 1 diagnosis). Happy to offer any further support that I can if any of this is hitting home with you? [/QUOTE]
