[QUOTE="azure, post: 1313512, member: 39639"] I can only give my own opinion but I personally agree that there may be a minimal level of carbs that are appropriate for Type 1s. For that reason, I would never go VLC. There are a number of other reasons too, but I won't bore you : D I'd go for a higher percentage than 10% but that's just my unqualified opinion. Not a huge amount, but slightly higher. I think Mark (Daily Apple) has a more sensible approach to carbs than others. Somewhere he has a 'carb graph' showing amounts for (non diabetic) people depending on whether they have weight to lose, etc. I eat 180g carbs a day currently. I can't foresee a situation when I'd eat below approx 80 or so. I'd also add that for Type 1s in particular circumstances eg pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc carbs are very important. [/QUOTE]
