[QUOTE="EllisB, post: 400021, member: 66472"] The OP is a Type 1. That gives a good indication as to the motives of their dietician. There is a certain level of insulin that a non-diabetic person would have. That is enough to handle a normal amount of carbs. If a Type 1 injects a similar amount of insulin, they are as close to normal as they can get. This has the effect of reducing the impact of any error in insulin dosing. A 1 unit error on a 1 unit dose is much more significant than a 1 unit error on a 5 unit dose. Hence the advice not to low-carb. [/QUOTE]
