Without meaning to sound flippant, we put up with it because it is keeping us alive.
8 years in I daily cook a whole meal from scratch, then scan, inject, plate up and be at the table in minutes with steam still rising. For my husband and myself. I still weigh, but can also do many things by eye. As for logging I do what needs to be done for me now, so just put insulin units into Libre reader and food. Not how many carbs. As time goes on this is what your wife will do. To make it easier pre plan the food, and amount and you plate up whilst your wife does the recording and injecting. I tend to work out how much insulin I am going to need and have my insulin amount primed and ready to inject.
As for spontaneity, this will come. Perhaps just not whilst on this course. As they are doing monitoring to try and help your wife.
As for logic, unfortunately with type 1 there is very little logic to results sometimes. We just have to pick ourselves up and try again the next day.
