Don't worry - there is no right or wrong! It's just that those of us who low carb do so (usually) for one of the following two reasons:

If we are type 1, its because the fewer carbs we eat, the less insulin used, and the smaller margin for error.

And if we are type 2, its usually because we rely on diet and exercise rather than medication to control blood glucose - so the lower carb we eat, the better we keep out hba1c down...

But it really depends on whether you get good control with a normal diet. If so, I can't imagine choosing to give up the carbs if you don't need to!
 
If you know how much insulin is needed for what you eat, there is no reason not to treat yourself with potatoe salad, macaroni, a piece of cake or donut once in a while. If done once a meal a week, your blood sugar level will turn to normal in 24 hours. This takes a few weeks of trial and error, good measurement of sugar levels in blood, and you're done!
