I joined my wife on the first of an online weekly course today.
Todays session was on carb counting and I have to say that I admire all you people who’ve been weighing food and calculating your insulin dosage for every meal including snacks etc
How do you find time to do anything else?
Based on previous records we have been given a target of 8 units of insulin before every meal
We have a ratio of 1 to 10 carbs and if the answer comes to 12 we have to adjust it based on 1 to 3 to get to 8 units of insulin
What a nightmare
We have to forget anything we have done previously
If there is one thing to spoil the fun of eating it is to spend half an hour working out the carbs either by weighing or food labels etc before cooking
Previously told that we had to have 60 g of carb, each meal that is now out.
It is useful to write this down since it clarifies the thoughts in my tired old brain
From an intellectual viewpoint it is very interesting, from a practical viewpoint it might be challenging
We start the process tomorrow
