If you are Type I diabetic you need to be careful to stay out of ketosis. Mild ketosis can start around 70-80 g carbs. ~100 g is safe. The alternative plan is meant to keep you out of ketosis. Why do you need to track on this plan? Shouldn't it be fine according to the rules? Unless you are very sensitive to carbs, a few grams will not make a huge difference. If you keep a caloric deficit, you will loose weight eventually.
