Hi, I’m a type 1 and do not eat complex carbohydrates in grains (cereal, breads, pastas, rice, refined grains) ,beans, and dairy products. Fruit is the same for me and is way better for my blood sugar! I prefer the lower sugar fruits like berries and melons. I think the complex carbs are harder to digest and require lots of insulin.
I use to eat tons of complex carbs in cereals, breads, and soy but since I stopped it has done wonders for my blood sugar and insulin needs. There’s a name for this diet anyway, it’s basically a “paleolithic diet” because it excludes those complex carbs found in grain and beans because they weren’t around for our ancestors until recently.
