[QUOTE="Fearless36, post: 1513159, member: 421597"] I don't carb count, and would like to learn how to do that, but have done the old fashion way of handfuls, I.e. a handful of protein, a handful of simple carbs and then vegetables alongside again in handfuls as that was always easier for me to measure and live with. Where could one learn carb counting? I eat pretty healthily and always have done, which is why the new insulin is definitely a problem because it doesn't respond to the rules that the older injections used to. I.e. I would eat protein first and then carbs/vegetables and could guarantee my sugars would only go up by 2 points max. So I would go from 6 to 8 immediately following a meal, and then about 3 hours afterwards I would be back on 6 again and stable. For me 6 was my kind of average blood sugar rating after non meals and before them, and it rarely went above 8.5. Nowadays I'm finding despite injecting say 80 of the novorapid, my blood sugars are now 13 plus and that isn't good to me. The diabetic clinic I am at - just aren't listening or supporting me as they should be doing and I am worried about the sugar imbalances more than they seem to be. [/QUOTE]
