[QUOTE="mrman, post: 486737, member: 40510"] I would agree with your mum in your circumstances. At 7 stone having no or very limited carbs would lead to a a ketotic state, (different from ketoacidosis, a very serious condition where body is not receiving enough insulin, by no csrbs and no insulin and type 1 this would likely happen). With you being 7 stone the ketones wouldn't have alot of fat to burn so could cause other complications for you. You need some carbs, enough for your body to use and maintain your weight and adjust your insulin to cope with the reduced carb intake to keep levels in check.
