The thing is on injections you can have a blow out if wanted at any time..
You are slimso why are you restricting your foods to give yourself angst?
You have a lifetime ahead of you and you and the whole point about being T1 is we should be able to eat the same as non diabetics if we wish to.
I'm T1 30+ years. Cried self to sleep every night for 6 weeks thinking s**t. I can't eat the same as others... Well, yes you can pretty much.
I have always been a lower carber, size 8/10 all my life. That is my choice, from the way I was brought up as a kid. HOWEVER, if I want a meal out or a takeway I have it.
Example, I rarely eat breakfast. I went out with hubby Monday and had a bacon and brie panini.. I don't normally eat bread...but it didn't kill me for doing so... I didn't feel different to hubby etc.
Food... You have to find the best lifestyle of foods for a long term basis that doesn't make you feel angst. That you can enjoy food but keeping the bloods normalised....
It may be that you just have smaller portions etc of pasta if you want it and you get good bloods and stay a good bmi-why not???
Its all about balance. It is very early days for you. None of us T1's are angels!!believe me.
