I'm T1 but honeymooning...my I:C ratio is 1:30. So far dairy carbs and veggie carbs have little to no effect on me.

That said, I have had days where I haven't bolused at all, if I'm eating low carb. This weekend, I bolused once on Saturday morning and not again until Sunday night when I had a carby snack. No corrections needed either. (However, I did drink a bottle of wine on Saturday night, so of course that is a factor...but I did reduce my basal by 25% on Saturday night.) Anyway, my numbers were great without bolus or correction with watching what I was eating.

So from my experience, I think that if you can manage spikes with a low-carbish diet, basal-only is the way to go over bolus-only. I think it would be easier to manage and more predictable.
