If using insulin then it's inject/monitor, to me the two risks are over correcting and having a hypo or a nasty spike overnight, Indian food if eaten to excess can do this .
If you're 'comfortable' with your condition it shouldn't affect your overall control.
Hello for me if I’m eating out or for a special meal, I allow more carbs such as side potatoes to make things easier (more selection), but no desserts. it’s up to you ;-D
I have continued to eat what I want pretty much since being diagnosed 18 months ago. My honeymoon period ended at around the 6 month mark.
I can eat anywhere between 150 - 300g of carbs a day. My control is still very good so it works well for me. I’m averaging 75% in range so find what works for you
As other people mentioned, low carb diets are great for people keeping an eye on weight or helping with control.
