[QUOTE="bronisaurus, post: 1785488, member: 473693"] I've been a Type 1 for a lot of years and have gradually been getting in to the idea of low carb, or LCHF. It's a challenge because it still seems to be a bit under the radar for dieticians and health care teams to talk about freely here (Australia). They speak generally, but official advice is still based on the standard whole grains, etc. I've got Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution ebook and he is pretty definite about some things like tomatoes and milk, that I see might be difficult for me to avoid. I'm in the planning stages and although I often eat low carb meals, I certainly don't do it all the time. I do like his 'rule of small numbers' and think it makes a lot of sense (as in I've seen the results in myself) and am willing to put a lot of effort in. My question is, how closely do you follow his do and don't foods? Because LCHF is pretty popular in the mainstream, I'd like to use some generall books and websites for recipes but I'm worried they will break the rules too often. I know I will find out by checking my blood sugar, but anything people here can share would be great. I use Humalog for bolusing with a pen that won't adjust more than 1 unit at a time, something I'm slightly concerned about with very low carbs. I use a split dose of Levimer for basal dosing and it's pretty spot on, it's all the after meal spikes that I'm trying to cut down on. [/QUOTE]
