Hi Liz - nice to meet you. I am a type 1 diabetic who has been addicted to carbs for a long time. Carbohydrate addiction is actually very common with diabetics. Like you, by eating low carbohydrate I have cut my insulin requirements down to almost nothing and my sugars run at or around 90 most of the time. I need to lose around 35 pounds because I fell off the band wagon for almost a year! I would like to encourage you to consider reading Dr Richard K Bernsteins book - diabetes solution revised. He is a type one diabetic MD with about 40 years of low carbohydrate research. His plan is almost identical to atkins but with diabetics in mind - both type 1 and type 2. He also has a you tube channel with plenty of helpful videos on managing blood sugar and low carb/medication/etc.. Well, in short, nice to meet you and good luck with your weight loss goal!
