Carb Counting

[Northerner]

Some people manage perfectly fine on considerably less than 130g, we have a few members who successfully manage their blood sugars on less than 50g a day (I would really struggle!). Personally, I eat about 100-140g a day, although I rarely keep track these days as I tend to be quite boring and consistent with my meal choices 🙂 I don't really eat much different from before diagnosis, except that I have virtually cut out the snacking and grazing as I can't be bothered to 'bolus for a biscuit'! 🙂

I really need to find other ways to eat carbs, the healthy but filling way. I think i need to open my cupboards to foods i wouldn't normally eat in order to get everything under control

I don't agree with everything Dr Bernstein does but the idea that less than 130g of carbs a day is not good for you is utter nonsense. The Berstein plan recommends no more than 24g of carbs a day and he's had T1 for something like 70 years.

As Trophywench points out, there is no metabolic or medical reason why you need to eat carbs - it's just a case of personal preference.
