I have tried the low carb diet, the no carb diet. I do not get terrific results from them. Furthermore, I feel awful on them. What works for me is a moderate low carb diet. There I will remain. I think my insulin requirements are different as well. I am very insulin resistant. I need to know what works for me and why. Its a long lesson I am still learning. But I find the moderation theory works best because I have a limited budget, I cannot afford expensive food, I need cheaper menus and that means carbs. Yesterday I could not find a package of meat at the supermarket under $6.00. When I follow my diet faithfully my bs are very good and very consistent. It only takes a small mistake or one good cheat and I am right into the 300's. I can go from 106 to 306 in four hours and it only takes a large portion of protein or a small portion of extra carb. I cannot eat perfect every day. I am only human. I hope I can avoid complications that kill or cripple. Who knows? I am just curious to know if anyone else out there uses a moderate approach to carbs?
