[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2308583, member: 506169"] Low Carb is great, but for those on Insulin it works too well! So first its important not to provoke Hypos. Only when the amount of insulin needed for the current diet is well established, should the idea of slowly reducing carbs be examined. But regular testing will be required alongside that. Reducing carbs slowly is easiest done by substitutions:- Temperate fruit instead of Tropical fruit More fibre in grains/starches rather than refined carbs. Cauli rice (or green Broccoli 'rice') than actual rice . Celeriac instead of potato. etc. [/QUOTE]
