[QUOTE="Nidge247, post: 1368291, member: 158871"] Hi [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] I'm doing very well on 30-50g carbs per day. My remaining beta cells can produce enough insulin to cope very happily on that level. I've just dropped down to 30g to take off the stone I gained over Christmas from those excess carbs; this brings my weight down around 2lbs per week, then when target figure reached, I'll just put the carbs back up to 50g to keep me steady. So to say we are screwed as T1's without insulin isn't quite correct. Diabetes is a balancing act and it is still possible to make things work. If however I was to overload my system with 180g carbs, then yes I would need insulin - but then that's hypothetical because I just wouldn't. I am fitter and healthier now on LCHF than I've been in decades. [/QUOTE]
