[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 657633, member: 41816"] I think the vast majority on here advocate lower carbs than the standard uk diet. But probably everyone here has an individual view on quite [B][I]how[/I][/B] low... Once you arm someone with a blood glucose meter and an idea of normal blood glucose levels, it becomes harder and harder to follow NHS thinking, training and dietary advice on carbs. Using insulin does, of course mean handling the carbs-with-every-meal idea much more manageable. But again, for me, the logic falls down. Why eat carbs, raising BG, which then requires insulin to lower BG? Why not exercise dietary control, avoid the BG highs that require so much medication? Type 1s will always need insulin, but the amount they need depends on carb eating choices. It is [B][I]all[/I][/B] about choice. Mine just happens to be to avoid NHS carb quantities. [/QUOTE]
