[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2681362, member: 372207"] If you feel hungry in the evening, by all means eat! But you'll need to cover the carbs you eat with insulin, and that's where the carb counting and knowing how much insulin you need for how many carbs comes in. There is no need to go high with evening snacking at all (I'm a notorious midnight snacker), although it's easier if you choose non sugary snacks. If it's hunger leading you to snacking sweet things, have you considered snacking on things like cheese, nuts, charcutery stuff to do something about being hungry? Works just as well for being hungry, and it's less likely to make you feel rubbish with high BG, as long as you're not comfortable with dosing for the carbs. Way to go! Don't apologise for not having been able to start learning more than the basics until now. There is a lot more happening in our lives than diabetes, and sometimes there's simply no room for diving in. And if you're ready to learn now, go for it! If I were you, I'd ask your diabetes nurse if you can go on a DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) course. From what I understand it can be very helpful in getting the basics of carb counting and insulin dosing. (It's not available in my country so I don't have personal experience of it.)
