[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1853728, member: 264425"] It’s a minefield isn’t it. I know a lot of type 1s that eat very few carbs do so to avoid swings in sugar levels and the risks of going too low with too much insulin. Others on this forum think that the more insulin you take the more insulin resistant you become. Interestingly, I have found, that if I eat a moderate amount of carbs with my meal I ultimately need less insulin than if I eat none. And my Libre line (when I could wear one before the dreaded allergy) was flatter and more predictable. At the end of the day we are individual. Our diabetes belongs to us and it is up to us to manage it to the best of our ability. It’s a daily struggle and we all need a pat on the back. [/QUOTE]
