[QUOTE="helenbeth, post: 393729, member: 44634"] I've been doing low carb since diagnosed with type 1 over 3 years ago. My daily carb intake is limited to 70 carbs maximum and other than my morning oat bran (have to have it!) the rest of my carbs are from veggies, fruits and nuts. I get enough calories from lots of nuts and healthy oil. A low carb diet has made my cholesterol profile incredibly better and keeps my weight perfect. In the USA the ADA also suggests way more carbs (complex type) but I chose to go low carb because it made more sense to me. Fortunately my dietician is fully supportive of my choice. I did a lot of research online before going lower carb and couldn't find anything negative about it. There appear to be many of us following a lower carb approach to dealing with diabetes in spite of generalized diet recommendations!! If it works, don't fix it :O) Best to all, Helenbeth [/QUOTE]
