I was diagnosed as Type 1 around 8 months ago. Was probably Type 1 for a few years before that but the Docs were trying to avoid insulin and control it with diet, meds and exercise. Wasn't working well. Now, in spite of lots of poking and shots, I feel much better. I've been learning that my body type responds well to proteins, much less so to certain white carbs. I've been trying to eat a bit of protein when I eat carbs and I seem to have a more stable number.
Here is a diet that seems to work for me.
breakfast - meat, eggs, cheese, vegetables (omelet or scrambled eggs and ham)
snack - fruit or ants on a log
lunch - 1/2 a meat and cheese sandwich using whole grain bread
snack - fruit
dinner - small salad, meat, vegetables and limited carbs (I've been aiming for 20-30)
snack - usually mixed nuts
I seem to be less hungry on this diet than I used to be when I was eating more carbs. I'm very new to diabetes Type 1 so I still have lots to learn. I don't know enough to give advice, but I can share what I'm doing and maybe others can associate.
