Hi all,
I've been Type 1 for 15 years, now in my 30s. I've always had 'ok' control - mostly due to not paying enough attention more than any endemic problem with management.
I'm reasonably fit and healthy, but my Hba1c is higher than I'd like at 8.1 (down from 8.9 last time).
At the moment I'm on a highish carb, vegan diet (been vegan for years). I keep hearing about low carbs being good for diabetics, but I have 2 questions:
1. Is it true for Type 1s?
2. Is low carb even possible without meat/fish/dairy?
