I ate more when I was first diagnosed as I'd lost a lot of weight prior to diagnosis. I never go too low as I don't want to have to think about bolusing for protein, delayed rises from fat, or physiological insulin resistance. It's a fine balance, as I'm sure you know!How many carbs per day do you currently eat? If you're looking to lose weight, small but consistent cutbacks in carbs can help, as can keeping a food diary for a week just so you can see what areas you can trim food-wise.There are a number of questions/polls here where Type 1s state the amount of carbs they have a day. But the bottom line is you shoukd eat what suits you. There's no magic diet for Type 1 sadly.</blockquote>
