Message: <blockquote data-quote="SamJB" data-source="post: 554099" data-attributes="member: 45322">You've made a very sensible decision. The reality of carb counting is that very few people manage their diabetes well by this method. Eating fewer things that raise your sugar levels is a very practical way of managing your levels. Don't expect any of your health team to recommend it, but I don't imagine they enjoy a lot of success given that 93% of type 1s don't achieve an HbA1c of 6.5%.With regards to increasing your calories, nuts are very calorie dense. Just 50g could increase your calories by 300kcal. As others have said, the only way to increase your cals on a low carb diet is by eating more veg, protein and fat.</blockquote>
