Message: <blockquote data-quote="birchy66" data-source="post: 455237" data-attributes="member: 85138">I wouldn't say I was a low carber but since being diagnosed in April this year with Type 1 I have reduced my carb intake to around 150g to 180g per day. I have kept off the 2 stone I lost when in hospital with DKA and have a bmi of  25.3.  I exercise more and generally feel healthier than I did before being diagnosed. I am 66 years old. My first HbA1C back in July was 7.6% (60) and a few days ago had come down to 7% (53), which I am pleased with but would like to get it lower next time. I may try and reduce my carbs below 150g and see how I get on but it might prove harder to do as the older you are the more set in your ways you become.I am new to this and have lots to learn.</blockquote>
