[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 183627, member: 6681"] :shock: I was diagnosed in 1977...and put on 1 injection a day, and was given my "rations". Rations (in my 4 year old brain) was what I was allowed to eat...25 g carbs for breakfast, 10 for my sanck...and so on...could eat what I liked, as long as I counted the carbs (or my Mum did) I have been on the diabetic rollercoaster ever since, and it really encourages me that we are now almost back where I started...except, the very big difference for me, that now I alter my insulin to suit what I eat, not eat to suit my insulin. My consultant, whilst I was pregnant had me on fixed doses of insulin beofre meals (basal bolus at the time) and would study my blood sugars, beofre teling me to "increase your before breakfast dose...he never once actually enquired what I had eaten. Fortunetly, I had the book I got when I was 6 years old, and this forum to help me through. [/QUOTE]
