dear fellow type 1s
I am wondering what you eat on a regular basis? what have you found gives you the best results with your blood sugar? I have followed a kind of low carb raw for a few weeks (a few pieces of fruit a day, lots of greens, oils, nuts/seeds, avocados, some non raw like tofu) and it was good for my blood sugar but all the fat started to nauseate me. I fell off the wagon pretty badly for a week due to not being able to face another avocado :0 and now all I want is FRUIT and salads!!! So this week I have tried eating a lot more fruit and less fats (together with the usual green juices and salads and odd cooked vegan thing) and....it tastes great but my blood sugar has been spiking MASSIVELY between meals.
Do you think if I continue in a high carb, low fat way my cells will "unclog" from the (junk food) fats and the blood sugar will even out?
Or would you stick with a low carb diet?
Also what are your opinions on mixing fat and carbs at the same meal in terms of blood sugar?
thank you!
