[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 355188, member: 12578"] Nike69 ( Nigel's post wasn't there when I started writing this. so I apologise for any duplication) If you read this thread thoroughly you would realise that Faith asked whether is was a low carb diet and people told her that it was not really that low, more reduced. (I think it was worked out as 130-150 g carbs a day) She didn't necessarily want or indeed need to reduce it lower. As a T1 diabetic you should realise that she has absolutely no choice about taking insulin. Reading the thread you might also realise that she has discovered, as many T1s do that there is not an absolute reduction in bolus insulin needs when carbs are reduced. She has been finding a need to bolus for protein. I also need to do this. As to the rest of your feelings about wheat, that's your opinion, just that. I don't agree. What you consider tough love, |I consider to be unhelpful . Can you tell Faith how to use her insulin with a near zero carb diet? I find it dogmatic and untrue to suggest 'pump yourself full of meds and deal with the side effects now and in later life. It doesn't reflect my experience (nor many of the experiences of the 50 year medallists at Joslin) Our insulin is necessary for our lives and we are replacing what our bodies don't produce. I count the carbs I eat,(it varies but mostly between 130 and 180g a day ) I select the food I eat mainly un or low processed foods on a daily basis but my daily diet includes grain (and I do include the odd non healthy item) I use an insulin pump with a relatively low total daily dose. What I do works for me, I can only suggest, I can't tell Faith it would be good for her lifestyle. By the way, 'm quite proud of I having run the odd marathon and have had HbA1cs below 6 for the last 7.5 years ( My last marathon was less than 2 years ago at age 59 . ( care to join me and my OH in our next half marathon to celebrate my 40th wedding anniversary in August .) Edited for Typo which added 10 years to my marriage and gave a few moments hilarity to others who like to make fun of people . Sad really [/QUOTE]
