[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2327769, member: 526953"] Download an app called carbs & cals. It has loads of meals & ingredients on there with their carb contents. Most packaging contains the amount of carbs but you may have to do some math regarding weight of food & how the packaging displays the number of carbs. For example if you have 5 cream crackers & cheese that’s about 4 carbs per cracker & most cheeses are carb free so the carb count is 20g. It’s really confusing at first but it takes practice & after 4 months I still don’t always get it right. I wait 4hrs between insulin doses, it can be a bit annoying but novorapid lasts about 4hrs in your system & if you don’t wait you risk stacking & going hypo. This wait between doses means snacking is difficult which is why I choose low carb snacks that don’t need insulin. I’d also really recommend you do the Bertie online course as this goes through carb counting in a lot of detail. A quick google will find it & it’s free. [/QUOTE]
