[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2669522, member: 527103"] I tried low carb diet and found it much harder to manage my diabetes. In the absence of carbs, my body converts protein to glucose at a very variable rate (different proteins contains raise my BG by different amounts and at different times). There is also evidence that low carb increases insulin resistance. I have the advantage of a pump and CGM so able to provide small amount of insulin and vary my basal. Following my “normal” diet , my HbA1C is 40 and my TIR is around 80%. Diabetes does not control my life - I exercise regularly, I eat what I want and have a stressful job with lots of travel. I am not suggesting this works for everyone but want to highlight that it is possible to manage diabetes without a low carb diet. [/QUOTE]
