[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2636141, member: 527103"] If you are considering going low carb, please remember that you will have to start insulin dosing for your protein. This can be complex as the timing is different than fir carbs and the insulin to protein ratio can vary for different types of protein. For this reason, I would not encourage low carb until you have got to grips with carb counting and insulin dose calculation as well as basal testing and bolus calculations for different times of the day. Dosing for protein adds another layer of complexity. For me, the return on this mental investment was not worth the effort. Some will quote Dr Bernstein as a supporter of low carb approach for Type 1 management. Bear in mind, he proposed this dose with older slower acting insulin than available today and dictates a pretty strict lifestyle to minimise BG variation such as women should avoid menstruation as hormones will adversely affect BG. Today we have the tools to manage natural hormonal variations. [/QUOTE]
