[QUOTE="johnoswaldallan, post: 7239, member: 1518"] Although I have had type1 diabetes for some 37-38 yrs my understanding of diabetes until relatively recently can at best be described as abysmal. After for many years trying to achieve the unachievable and keep my B’S’s at reasonable levels, I came to a realization that my problem was carbohydrate intake. The idea perpetuated by dieticians and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of diabetes, that even though I am diabetic I can virtually eat what carbs I like (the good long acting carbs of course) and put in insulin accordingly just has not worked for me. I have been on my present low carb diet for approximately 7-8 months. The results have been beyond my wildest dreams. I now have approx 30 carbs per day, I have reduced my insulin considerably and my B’S’s are near normal (no more going from very high to very low sometimes within the space of one hour) Strange thing is that even without a change in my carb intake I am continuing to reduce my insulin.
