[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2228510, member: 468055"] Hi [USER=515701]@T1Dinsadd[/USER] - just catching up on your thread. I’m another T1 following a low carb way of eating, and there’s loads of ways to enjoy your favourite foods with a few adjustments, although you’ll need to cook rather than buy pre-prepared food. I’m having pizza tonight. I make the base (2tbsp ground almonds, 1tbsp psyllium husk powder, 1/2tsp baking powder, 2 eggs and some seasonings, mixed in a plastic container, microwaved for 2 1/2 minutes), top with some tomato purée and whatever toppings I fancy and mozzarella, cooked in the oven until golden brown. It keeps me fuller for longer than the standard bread based version, and needs maybe 1.5u insulin max. As for over-treating hypos, it’s so easily done with the panic signals the brain is sending out. I find they’re easier to manage if I regard it as a “medical emergency” rather than an opportunity to eat all my favourite treat foods - let’s face it, it’s not like you get chance to savour them when you’re shoving them down your neck as fast as possible. I’ve established that a 3 gram of glucose dextrose tablet raises me by about 0.6mmol (about 11 in American units), so just take one or two. And have your treats another time, when you can really enjoy them, just dose properly for them :) [/QUOTE]
