Hi there
When I was diagnosed as type 1 I was told I could eat whatever I wanted as long as I took insulin for it. Now I think I'm taking that to a whole new level. Lately I've been eating a lot of carby meals at McDonald's (I work there so we get it free at lunch) and after work as well with with a lot of sweet stuff like strawberry frozen lemonade and mcflurrys. Is this ok? As long as I'm taking insulin for all the stuff in eating. I'm not having any spikes by the way. I'm usually around 6gl/mmol. I also have from time to time an Oasis. This doesn't cause me any spikes as long as I'm having insulin and apparently that has like 20-40 carbs in?
