How low is a Low Carb 'Diet'?

[vickiann]

I've cut down carbs and sugar to help me lose weight and reverse my fatty liver, am going to try and stick to about 130g a day and see how it goes.

Good luck Corina, hope it works for you

Thanks DeusXm - never heard of ketogenic diets, will have to look that up, you tend to think that carbs will have the same effectg no matter what type of carb it is, but that doens't seem to be the case, it's been nice to get different people's views and see what they do.

In my experience different carbs act very differently. Ive had to remove wheat and lactose from my diet and am now having rice flour etc. This caused my diabetes to go into a tail spin and Im now using about 50% of the insulin compared to previously.

I only have to look at carbs and my BG goes up. I'm on Insulin and finding the balance is difficult since I started injecting. I'm trying to go low carb, but when you smell freshly baked bread wafting through, it makes it very difficult. Mmmmm..
