[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1418104, member: 240838"] You can set your carb limit wherever you want. I eat less than 20 a day and take very small doses of insulin in order to do that. When eating vlc most need to bolus for protein. I bolus for 1/2. So if I'm eating 20g I bolus like it's 10 carbs. I had kidney stones and I too try to take care of them. I eat very few nuts or dark leafy greens. Never spinach. That's the worst food for stones. I drink lemon water to help flush them as well. I'm not sure kidney failure requires the same diet as stones but I would think it wouldn't hurt. I also keep my animal / fish protein low. What can you eat low carb? Any kind of protein. Chicken, turkey, egg, beef, lamb and all kinds of fish Above ground non starchy veggies. Salad greens, mushrooms, celery, asparagus, radish, scallions, bok choy etc. Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, olives, nuts, cheese Depending on how many carbs you were eating and how many you plan to eat will determine your insulin needs but if you drop some carbs you'll need to drop your insulin, especially if you're having hypos. Better to error on the side of caution and take less. Do you carb count? Are you comfortable managing your own insulin? Are you on basal bolus? Those would both likely to be changed. [/QUOTE]
