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

Message: <blockquote data-quote="noblehead" data-source="post: 455071" data-attributes="member: 11028">I don't technically low-carb although I do eat below the RDA, currently eating between 150-180g a day..... but admittedly eaten much more over the Christmas period.Being a type 1 using insulin and adjusting insulin to the food I eat makes it much easier to be flexible with food than someone who is type 2 controlling their diabetes through D & E or minimal meds, however I believe no matter how you control your diabetes or what type you are it's important to control portion sizes when it comes to carbs.It's all about finding a balance, exercise, carb control, foods lower on the glycemic index are all useful tools in diabetes management as is reading and learning from experience, I personally wouldn't want to restrict carbs any more than I needed and all my recent diabetes checks have all come back fine therefore I'll continue as I am.As we say many times on the forum, we are all different and and it's all about finding what works for the individual!</blockquote>
