How low should low carb be.

200-250 is a wack of carbs, a real low carber will do 30g of carbs a day
cut your carbs to 100-130 and adjust the insulin as needed may be enough to drop some weight

It sounds like quite a lot of carbs to me. Remember it just turns into sugar hence the high blood glucose level. Have you read any books on diabetes - in particular blood sugar 101, dr bernsteins book or think like a pancreas? The last two are I think well suited to type 1 diabetics. Try a week of very little or no carb and see what happens. You have to experiment, use you meter a lot and see what happens. Blood sugar 101 has a web site which contains all the info in the book.
oops beaten to it

carbs are addictive alright, the more carbs you eat, the more carbs you want to eat. coconut oil saved me the first week. the good news is the cravings normally go within 2 weeks

I eat between 60 and 120g of carbs a day. I found it quite easy to reduce down to this amount and am amazed at how much less I crave food in general. Much less tempted to "take a night off" and binge than when I used to eat higher carbs.
I don't consider myself a "low carber", but the reduction I have made has certainly helped.
Baby steps. You don't have to cut huge amounts all at once.

I don't eat 250 grams of carbs in a week let alone a day. If you haven't already, have a read of Dr Bernstein Diabetic solution book. It really explains everything about the benefits of lowering your carb intake.

I am reading Bernstein at the moment, preparing to go to my annual check tomorrow, armed with information. I average 200-250g too, (quite easy to do on a 'normal' person's diet). I want to cut down to 100-150g initially. See how that goes and then see if I want to go lower.

I have warned my nurse that I'm coming with this intention... and she agreed I should see a difference in my blood tests in 6 months' time if I'm serious about it... I reckon certain NHS departments are becoming a little more enlightened, but it never harms to help them along.

Another low carber here.

Cut down the toast and roast potatoes gradually. Have half the usual amount for a few days then halve that and so on.

I sometimes have one slice of Hi-Lo Seeded Wholemeal toast for breakfast. Other days I have a late breakfast (in a cafe) with fried bacon egg and mushroom. Lunch and dinner will consist of fish, chicken, beef steak, gammon or egg with a selection of veg and salad leaves. If things have a covering of pastry, batter or breadcumbs, I just eat the filling. I rarely get hungry between meals. I don't crave carbohydrates either because I know I don't need them. Avoiding the high carbohydrate stuff means that I don't need to inject much insulin to cover the meal.

Ask 10 different people what is low-carb and you'll get 10 different answers, some say it's below 30g and others below 130g.

Many of us type 1's on the forum eat carbs in moderation (say around 130-180g a day) which is around half of the RDA, however if you feel you can go as low as 30g a day then go for a Bernstein style diet, I'm sure you will see benefits in your Hba1c whatever level you drop down to.
