[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1621886, member: 240838"] Yes very low carb. For me 20 or less per day but that is my choice and where I feel best. All my carbs come from avocado, green veggies and some nuts. The rest is moderate amounts of protein and a higher percentage of fat. 5%c, 15-17% p and 75-80% fat. However the big majority of my fats are Mediterranean such as an entire large avocado split between all meals, olive oil, mayo, olives and nuts. I keep saturated fats on the low end as they make me insulin resistant If you think about my macros, take some salad greens, drizzle with olive oil, add some chopped avocado and some chicken, tuna, egg, salmon whatever. That’s my macros. Then a few nuts or olives as snacks. Pretty healthy. This allows me to maintain my weight ( I don’t want to lose weight. I’m 55 kg at 5’8) and it allows me to take much smaller doses of insulin. I tend to follow the Bernstein diet and laws of small numbers. This was the only way I could find to marry the timing of my food and insulin. It’s certainly not for everyone. I’m very ketogenic. Congrats on such great success with your A1C!! I do agree with others, if I ate more carbs and took more insulin I would gain weight quickly but we are all different and this is just my personal experience. I don’t digest starches and sugars at all. I would be in a perpetual state of bloat, cramp and exhaustion. So vlc is no problem for me. I have been KETO long before DX As a type 1 you can choose your own carb level that you feel comfortable with and can maintain good bg. Mine just happens to be 20. [/QUOTE]
