Hi @sharon2806 ,
Welcome to the forum! It's a bit of a tricky question, as your profile says you're on insulin... Personally I take the low carb approach, which has helped me ditch the meds i was on, but with insulin, there is a high chance you'll hypo on a low carb diet. https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html is pretty much what I tend to do, but that's me... I don't know whether you're on a fixed dose or carb count to know how much to inject, but please, test your heart out (or get a CGM for a while), and be very careful when cutting carbs, if you choose to go that route. Maybe start slow rather than making rigourous changes, and adjust doses accordingly?

Any specific questions, hollar, there's always someone here with answers!
Jo
