[QUOTE="azure, post: 1052307, member: 39639"] Joules, don't let it All overwhelm you. Sometimes it's easiest to keep it simple. I find that if I eat a moderate amount of carbs with my protein, I don't need to count the protein at all. On the rare occasions when I do eat a no-carb salad (I've put 'no' there because I don't count carbs in tomatoes or lettuce, etc) I have learnt from experience how much insulin I need to take for that particular meal. So I don't have to sit there calculating or anything. When I was first diagnosed, I got a lot of hunger, but as my sugars and body settled down on insulin, I found that abnormal hunger went away. The only time I get that now is if I have a hypo. Obviously, I still get normal hunger, but I'd be worried if I didn't : D I eat a moderate carb diet and try to keep it healthy. I test lots and my HbA1C is very good. That has largely come from experience as I learned about how my body reacts to food and insulin. The connection you mention between coeliac disease and Type 1 is correct. People with Type 1 are more likely to develop coeliac disease. There have been studies about whether wheat is involved in the development of Type 1, but no definite answer has been reached. [/QUOTE]
