Thank :D you!

Does anyone use nutritional scales to help with carb counting? If so, can anyone recomend a good one as i am looking to buy some. I know its lazy but it seems easier than getting the calculator out. I was also wondering if the scales are only as good as the food database it uses?! Any help would...

What can they really do to help?! All i could ask is for them to be understanding when it comes to exams. I have had hypos during them which really dont help! To be fair if your blood sugars are anything other than 4-8 during an exam you are already on the backfoot concentration wise.

Ive often wondered if a pump would help me but as a landscape gardener it just not practical. Good luck with it tho.
