Low carbing makes this much easier. The only time in 7 years I've properly calculated carbs (apart from reading on my pack of LC bread it has 3.8 grams per slice) was when I made some keto nuts and chocolate things to send to [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] to celebrate Sinterklaas and I wanted to include the correct carb count.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite39" alt=":hilarious:" title="Hilarious    :hilarious:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":hilarious:" /> Correct.Many LADA's don't have any of those T2 traits, they're simply slow onset T1's.I do have considerable insulin resistance, medication for BP, and at diagnosis my lipids were out of whack. The lipids got all back to perfect numbers after getting decent BG and changing to LCHF, the BP still needs medication, and I'm still fat.Someone posted a study a while back on how the effect of a low carb diet on lipids can be completely different for fat and thin people, but I can't find it anymore.It's also outside the scope of this thread, I fear.[USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] was that you sharing this interesting study?At only 3 years in, it's quite likely you're still producing some insulin yourself, the honeymoon period.Is there a particular reason you're interested in reducing carbs?Many T1's do very well on dosing for their carbs, it's all about individual approach and preferences.</blockquote>
