Hi all!
I'm a newby T1. Having a really rough time to adjust to my new 165g carb/day diet. I'm really bad at carb counting, I learned like 5 foods carb values. I know that rice, potatoes and grains usually have about the same amount of carb, around 60-70g/100g. I still make mistakes. Usually I get really hungry after dinner. I have to eat 15g of carbs at 20:00. Sometimes I eat a littlebit more. I don't know what to do to battle hunger. It happens a lot that I eat something with carb amounts I'm not sure about and I panic a little. Usually my BG is around 6-7 after eating, but I had a few 10+ readings, like 10.5. 11.8 was my highest since I got out of the hospital. What to do about food and panic? When is it really time to panic? Any advice would be appreciated!
