[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2502438, member: 527103"] Some people find low carb with Type 1 very helpful. I believe (apologies if I have this wrong) [USER=365308]@NicoleC1971[/USER] follows a low carb diet with a very active lifestyle. However, I attempted it and found it much much harder for me than a "normal/lower" carb level diet. When I eat low/no carb my blood sugar levels still rise so I need to consider insulin to protein ratios. This is more complex than insulin to carb ratios because the ratio is different for every type of protein - ratio ratio is different for nuts, eggs, cheese, salmon, prawns, ... I don't eat meat but understand that will add another level of ratios to remember and juggle. I have chosen to be more aware of the carbs I eat and like the variety of not eating sandwiches for every lunch and find yoghurt much more enjoyable for breakfast than cereal but I still enjoy rice with my curry, couscous with my tagine, potatoes with my fish, noodles with my stir fry, ... just less than my non-diabetic partner.
