Thus, I have several questions about the foods I eat and my diet.  I am a type 1 and I take humalog (10 units) at each meal and lantus (10 units) before bed.  <\/p>\n<p>First off, I would like to know if I need to be on the low carb diet.  I currently weigh 125 (5&#8217;10), which is just barely above under weight according to my wii fit lol.  I have lost six pounds since last year, that I would like to regain if possible, and about 20ish pounds since I was diagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing several people suggesting the low carb diet I started checking and writing down all the carbs I was intaking.  I have no idea how one can only intake 100g\/day.  After cutting out several carb I am still intaking roughly 175-225g\/day on a good day.  <\/p>\n<p>I do admit that I eat a lot of bread (wheat) which I cannot give up because of my love for cold cut and peanut butter sandwiches and morning bagels.  I am, also, a huge pasta and pizza fanatic.  <\/p>\n<p>Past those exceptions, I think I eat fairly healthy.  I generally eat a steady diet of soups, beef stew, fish, chicken, stir fry, and some veggies.  For snacks I have substituted chips for woven crackers, still eat gobs of nuts, sugar free pudding, pockys, and\/or bagels or pop tart (limited it to 1\/2 a pop tart pack or 1\/2 of a bagel as a snack).  <\/p>\n<p>I have noticed this past week or two (since I have been monitoring my blood sugar levels) that if I eat something with fewer carbs I do need less insulin or need to eat more.  Such as with beef stew my sugar will bottom out if I take 10 units and only eat the beef stew.  Anyways, I am sure I will post up some more questions as they come to me.  <\/p>\n<p>As for now&#8230;good night everyone.<\/p>\n<p>-JaD<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello all, New comer to the forum and taking responsibility for my diabetes.
