I’m T1 and could never stay stable with 20 c per meal. It wasn’t just about counting carbs as the fat and protein content effect the meal. If you go lower you’ll need to adjust your insulin. I also bolus for half my protein as if it were a carb as in the absence of carbs we get energy ( bg) from protein through gluconeogenisisIve just started lchf eating and aim for 30-50. I'm type 1, should I go lower?
I do very well at less than 20 total ( not net) carbs. I base my meals around protein, avocado and other fats.
