Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="ianf0ster" data-source="post: 2723999" data-attributes="member: 506169">Hi [USER=591945]@Kuba85[/USER] I'm a Type 2 rather than a Type 1, but I do take an interest in most things related to Diabetes diets.Many Type 1 members of this forum eat fewer carbohydrates than are in a 'normal diet' and thus reduce the amount of insulin they need to inject and with that reduce the chances of a significant mis-match between the amount of carbs eaten and the insulin needed to cover them.That seems to make sense to me, however there are others including doctors who disagree and take the 'eat as many carbs as you like and adjust/increase your insulin to cover for them' approach.You have already been pointed in the direction of Dr Richard Bernstein (well known in the USA) who uses a low carbohydrate diet to help manage his own Type 1 diabetes and that of his patients. There is also Dr Ian Lake in the UK (I came across him on Twitter) who also favours a low carb approach.I will tag some of our Type 1 members in on this thread: [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER], [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] , [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] I hope you get information that helps you (I doubt if you need a dietitian).</blockquote>
