[QUOTE="LaughingHyena, post: 341807, member: 29694"] I think it can take some time for BS levels to settle down and many people (myself included) have a honeymoon period after diagnosis where the pancreas kicks in and is able to produce some insulin. Unfortuanly, for me at least it wasn't that realiable and did lead to some unpredictable sugar levels. For a while I found it easiest to stick to a few meals which were easy to work out the carbohydrate content of. The carbs and cals book ([url]http://www.carbsandcals.com/en-us[/url]) is a handy tool for that, plus of course reading packets carefully. Most people adjust their rapid acting (novorapid) insulin based on the carbs in a given meal. Less carbs = less insulin. Now things are generally a bit more even I am able to experiment with food a bit more and work out which foods suit me best. [/QUOTE]
