[QUOTE="azure, post: 1278322, member: 39639"] You could eat normal moderate carb meals prior to your meal out so you're confident about adjusting your insulin :) Most Type 1s here eat moderate amounts of carbs. I can understand your nervousness about adjusting your insulin, but careful practice makes perfect (well, as close to perfect as Type 1 can be!) I can't remember if mentioned Think Like A Pancreas to you before, but it's a great book. Your aim really is to be your own pancreas and adjust your insulin to cover things like meals, illness, stress, exercise, etc etc. Slow, careful steps and lots of testing are the keys. Enjoy your meal :) Edited to,add that remember your original meal doses may well have been set low to,avoid hypos soon after diagnosis. It doesn't mean you're overdoing it if you up them appropriately. [/QUOTE]
