[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1731549, member: 365308"] Hi there! I am trying out low carb too and am very anti being a 'professional diabetic' so have had to ease myself in with some get out clauses for when chocolate/toast seemed too good to deny myself. I see low carb as taking out a variable for those like me who don't want to weight out food but have found that I do need to bolus about half as much for protein ). All the other variables such as pmt and exercise still apply of course. You could start by swapping out carbs in just 1 meal and seeing if you get a smoother ride. My top tip would be make sure you get plenty of fat as doing low carb and low fat is pretty impossible! Somebody else recommended The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1..which is appaently more readable than Richard Bernstein (I just wasn't ready for 30g only a day at the time I read that) plus Adam Brown's e book Bright Spots and Landmines. Another type 1 doctor (like Bernstein) Ian Lake can be found on YouTube; his take on low carb for type 1s is that less insulin is generally a good thing (and therefore less carbohydrate) to prevent insulin resistance and the problems associated with it. Let us know how you get on. Oh and as mentioned, do expect push back from the hcps who tend not to support this way of doing things... [/QUOTE]
