[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1899400, member: 468055"] I’m not exactly quiet in advocating low carb as a great option for managing T1, as most of you are possibly aware! For me it’s been a bit of a holy grail, after 20 years of yo-yo levels. Perhaps my body doesn’t react consistently to food/insulin - I could never get the timing of a prebolus right, sometimes insulin would kick in after 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. Same variables with food, even the same meal on different days. So for _me_ minimising the carb content of my food has meant I’ve removed a lot of the inconsistency in my life, and I feel much healthier for it. But if you can get your doses and timings right, and your metabolism (with the addition of exogenous insulin) can deal with carbohydrate, there’s no reason not to eat exactly what you like. I don’t feel like giving carbs the boot means I’ve lost - I feel like I’ve finally found a way to live that really works for me. And I count that as a win. [/QUOTE]
