I also am type 1 on insulin, but I find snacks and additional injections no problem. I am generally 4-5 before main meals and do not usually go higher than 7 or 8 between meals.
I guess we're all different and have different preferences

As I said "I don't find snacking attractive", so I guess it's a personal preference. Plus I really really don't like overlapping insulin doses as the result becomes unpredictable, certainly for me, but as you know diabetes is very much YMMV. I enjoy my meals, I eat very well as I am a keen cook and hubby loves his food. I cook from scratch every evening, I take home made soups to work for lunch, or a nice salad with something interesting in it. Plus I have to be careful with my weight.
The reason I queried snacking was because when I initially saw a dietition after diagnosis, she told me I "needed" to snack between meals and frankly that wasn't true... nor was the rest of her advice, but that's another subject. I really wanted to know whether Sherbert had been handed the same erroneous advice.
