[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1780411, member: 140811"] Bearing in mind that a T1 should in theory be able to eat anything - what's your motivation for reducing carbs? Depending on your reference source the UK recommended intake is 250g per day. I'd suggest a good starting point would be to count your carbs and find out how much you're eating per day - unless you already know. Once you know this you can try to reduce your portion sizes and insulin requirements to a level that you're happy with. I never go higher than 150g per day (yesterday I was below 60) but I realise now that I never ate 250g per day before my diabetes diagnosis anyway so it wasn't hard for me to reduce my intake a little more. It is my [I]perception[/I] that my glucose levels are easier to manage with a moderate carb intake. [/QUOTE]
