Low carb diets

[kimkennedy1989]

Ok, so I'm T1' have been 5 years. Find that due to my variable shifts my control isn't as good as it once was as breaks/lunches always alter as do eating and injecting times. Thinking of a low carb diet to try to rectify things...I tried once before but was left feeling very hungry quite often. Any suggestions on filling foods that are low/carb free?

Thanks Andy, I suppose it's just planning ahead for meals and snacks plus making sure you get some variety too?....can't do any harm to give it a go

As well as Andy's list...
For Snacks/Nibbles - go Nuts!! Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, mini pepperamis, berries
or
Try some low carb baking - go to Ewelina's great baking site - would recommend the blueberry muffins

Thanks weens12, I've never tried anything like this long term before but hopefully it'll help me get things back under a tight rein as I'm yoyo-ing a lot at the moment
