Do I need to swap carbs when planning my meals as a diabetic to lose weight?

Asked a year ago

I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and have been working hard to control my blood sugar levels. I enjoy eating whole grain bread and pasta, but I've noticed that my weight has risen. I want to start meal prepping with weight loss in mind. Should I remove carbs entirely?

While carbs often lead to weight gain, you should not remove carbs entirely from your meals. If you do that, you may be at risk of a nutritional deficiency and constantly lacking energy. What you can do instead is to maintain a low-carb diet while making a holistic dietary change.
