[QUOTE="zand, post: 1479371, member: 85197"] Akindrat, I've been thinking about you this morning. How about starting a new thread where others can help you with your carb counting and BG problems? Instead of feeling bad about something you feel you shouldn't have eaten, tell us first, plan ahead. Weigh your portions and ask for help counting the carbs before you eat it. I can't help a lot with that as I don't understand insulin dosage at all, so I don't know how many carbs you can have, but there are plenty of T2's on insulin and T1's who will be able to help. That way you would be in control of what you eat and will also be getting positive support from the forum (instead of frequent telling offs which aren't doing any of us any good). It might be a bit laborious at first ( and you may have to warm up meals after they have gone cold!) but at least it would give you thinking time before you absentmindedly eat loads of carbs and then have to suffer the terrible 'Why did I do that?' afterwards. This way you would know what carbs you should have and not have to feel the guilt afterwards. Make a note of every meal and the carbs in each meal and keep it for your records. You can note down your BGs too. I am sure your HCPs would be a bit more helpful in your request for more test strips if they could see you were really helping yourself consistently, so show them your food diary and carb count along with whatever BG tests you manage to take with your allowance of test strips. Do you have kitchen scales that are accurate to the gram? Mine are even more important to me than my test strips. I agree with what [USER=196960]@ickihun[/USER] says about high BGs and carbs too. Be proactive not reactive, that way you get in first before the carbs get you. [/QUOTE]
