Do you need to lower carb or can you go to low GI diet?

well you can always do clean protein sources with no sauces or make the sauces low carb. Stick to veggies you can have summer squash, zucchini, green beans asparagus etc.. Make meals out of salads and offer higher carb items for them on the side?

I eat much lower carb then my family, and I do all the cooking. I pick stuff I can eat, beef, chicken, lean pork etc cook it in a way I can have, and then offer sides for them that I don't eat like stuffing or mashed potatoes or pasta and a salad or veggie.

hope this helps.

(for my t1 son) I exchange the pasta/rice for salad/yogurt...it really works to keep him from crashing.
snacks are usu veggies sausage or jerky when his numbers are w/in target and its late in the day.

fiber & water, naturally
