Hello everyone,
I am thinking of doing the low carb thing again after a failed attempt when first diagnisosed as a T1 this Feb. I have a couple of ?'s though...
Is it best to ease down your carb intake slowly or just drop your intake suddenly? Having just looked at my food diary I am doing for my dietician I am consuming between 200-400g a day. (eek) I think my body will go into shock at first and I'll collapse at the gym or something.
Second question is what do you eat to treat a hypo if you are low carbing ? (Say I took too much novorapid with lunch and then went to the gym type situation....)
On a more positive note this forum is giving me lots of ideas of what to eat ! On a less postive note I think the dietician won't like it but I like to experiment ! I can't for the life of me get this carb:insulin ratio right so I want to give this another go.
Thanks all,
Mrs B
