At bedtime I shall correct for any BG number over 7, at 1:2.5. My son disagrees strongly.

I am overjoyed if my total day's carbs are below 200! My wife and I love our potatoes, but not rice. I eat a modest amount of bread cereals. However I have a stubborn sweet tooth. Give me strength. I do a lot of exercise.
