[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 617342, member: 113749"] Have a look at the Bernstein book: Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. His approach is based on 30g carb per day. The reason being that low carb intake means low insulin intake, so it's easier to get the levels right and keep BS stable. Which is really important to your health. That's what I'm on. Once you've worked out a practical and filling way to do it, it's fine. The key is to make sure you eat enough veg and protein to feel full, and then keep the carbs down to the limit. You can use this either to lose weight, or to maintain it by making sure you eat more fat (butter, cream, nuts perhaps). Some LCHFs prefer to go with 50g carb/day, but I have an incentive to get my BS down to 5 fast, as I'm LADA and want to extend my honeymoon period. [/QUOTE]
