It is not always all about carbs and sugar levels. These articles cover other health hazards from other constituents of diet that may be relevant. For instance, I have T1D friends who were struggling with diet sodas. Hidden sugars off label can give wrong bolus values where Malitol and other sugar alcohols are added but only declared in the fine print and not the Carb values (the labeling system only makes manufacturers declare sucrose as a carb. Also the carb values are not measured at all but are estimated from a standard reference table of ingredients - it is an approximation at best).Well, for type ones, none at all - as long as you can get the timings and doses of insulin right
I didn’t say not to read it - just that a T1 can eat whatever they want if they can insulinate correctly for it. And that would included diet pop - if you try it and it spikes you, just dose for it next time. Doesn’t make it off limits, just that you need to use a little trial and error to deal with it should you choose to have it again. That’s a labelling issue, not a food issue. No harder really than dosing for fruit and vegetables whose nutritional content varies with the seasons, yet the published values don’t reflect that.Please let people read and make up their own mind.
The reason why I replied like I did to your post was that it gave an impression that T1D do not need to read the article, since as you say, a seasoned veteran will know how to use their insulin to control. I had in mind that this thread will attract newly diagnosed people who are seeking this sort of information which sadly they will not get from their GP. It just seems to be a good intro type article that I did not want to put newbies off from reading. But yes, it does carry the Low Carb message in it, which is aimed more at T2D.I didn’t say not to read it - just that a T1 can eat whatever they want if they can insulinate correctly for it.

Perhaps foods containing BPA and excess salt should be crossed off *everyone’s* list, not just “we diabetics” - although having said that I need a lot of extra salt in my diet to avoid postural hypotension.
Unless it's a domino's pizza. It's just the most insulin resistant food on planet earthWell, for type ones, none at all - as long as you can get the timings and doses of insulin right
You might need to consider specifying that you were aiming your post at t2 or newly diagnosed people by mentioning that in the title or OP, using tags or posting it in a t2 section of the forum, rather than “food, recipes and nutrition”, which isn’t (as far as I’m aware) a t2-specific area. You just said “we diabetics”. Did you not want any contributions from T1s?The reason why I replied like I did to your post was that it gave an impression that T1D do not need to read the article, since as you say, a seasoned veteran will know how to use their insulin to control.

I was deliberately non specific on class of condition. I consider the article to contain advice for all, There ARE T1D who are using LC diets and keto so the advice can apply to many, not just T2D Some Insulin users are interested in reducing their dosage to avoid the rollercoaster ride. Some are content to carry on as taught by Daphne. There are T2D who use insulin as well, although I am not one of them. Some are on MDI, some are on Pump, and some are on fixed dose. We all eat food.You might need to consider specifying that you were aiming your post at t2 or newly diagnosed people by mentioning that in the title or OP, using tags or posting it in a t2 section of the forum, rather than “food, recipes and nutrition”, which isn’t (as far as I’m aware) a t2-specific area.
