Hi all. I’m T1 and on Novorapid through an Omnipod Dash in case that’s relevant.
A few years ago I had great BG levels as a result of going low carb (I was never super low carb, but probably around 50-75g per day). However, I found that being that restricted required quite a lot of “headspace” - the meals I had were quite intensive on the preparation front etc, I couldn’t grab something on the go very easily etc. I also found it quite expensive.
Since that time I’ve had two children, so my available headspace for diabetes has been pretty much reduced to zero. My BG hasn’t been bad, but I’d like to improve it. I’m looking to reduce carbs but I also have to balance cooking for the family as a whole, so meals need to work for me, husband and 2 young children.
Im going to look through the recipe threads for inspiration but I’m just interested to hear from anyone who is juggling the needs of their own diet with that of young kids?
