[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2476402, member: 372717"] I think an issue here is that no one really knows what a healthy diet is, though there is a fair amount of agreement on unhealthy (processed food in particular, crisps?). But I agree with your sentiment that T1s can happily eat carbs if they can adjust their insulin for it. I personally lowish carb because after 51 years of T1 and with some T2 genetics (thanks dad :)) I find that low carb minimises my insulin use and seems to be the only thing that controls my weight. But I had two successful T1 pregnancies under what was probably the eatwell plate (albeit with some serious hypos) so I totally agree that low carb is just one of many dietary choices that T1s can choose to make. And the thought of bolusing for protein makes me want to cry, so I'm with [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] in that respect. I guess one advantage of being an insulin user is that we have more dietary choice than T2s controlling by diet. [/QUOTE]
