Hi
I'm in need of some help and advice/suggestions for low carbing and Type 1 diabetes.

Do any of you Type 1 follow this lifestyle? How do you find it?

I have found very good BG control since adopting this approach of late, very stable. I am eating a lot of food and a very varied and healthy diet.
The trouble is I have dropped 3/4 of a stone in 3 weeks ( an unwanted side effect) and even though I feel a lot healthier and am eating a variety of good foods. I would really like to increase my weight but do not want to increase my fat anymore.
I am considering going back onto protein shakes , does anyone else use these to put on ,maintain their weight?
Did anyone find the low carb approach in the longterm unachievable due to weight loss?

any tips from your diet approaches would be much appreciated as I have much smoother control but don't want to lose ANY more weight.
