    Best meals for reliable accurate carbohydrate counting?

    Hi, I need to test that my ratio for my evening meals is correct, and to do that I think it would be best to have the same meal a few nights in a row and see what happens to my blood glucose levels. The trouble is that I'm struggling to think of meals where I can be sure of the carb content. I...

    Carb counting - different ratio for high carb meals?

    Hi all, I've been diabetic 15 years and have been carb counting for most of that time. Recently I've started to become more strict as I'm trying to tighten my control, and I realised something quite strange. My ratio is 1u:8g of carbs throughout the day - however - when I have a high carb...

    Hi all, I've been struggling with high waking blood sugars which I've attributed to a Dawn Phenomenon (although a consult I saw was sceptical despite a months of Libre data showing it) that I see start to rise my sugars at around 3-4am. I was just wondering how other people deal with them? I...
