From the Diabetes.UK website:
"What counts as low-carb?
Low-carb is a flexible way of eating that allows you as an individual to choose a level of carbohydrate that works well for your diabetes and lifestyle.
A research study in 2008
[7] used the following brackets to categorise daily carbohydrate intake:
- Moderate carbohydrate: 130 to 225g of carbs
- Low carbohydrate: under 130g of carbs
- Very-low carbohydrate: under 30g of carbs"
The diet you described seemed to be very much based on bread. I understand that this may suit you, given your energy expenditure, but I felt concerned that more ordinary members new to the Forum might think they could eat like this on a low carb diet. It seems to me that although some lucky LC people can manage the odd slice of bread, very few would be able to eat bread as a staple. Of course nevenaves, being T1, can choose between a low carb diet and carb counting, but I'd like it to be an informed choice.
