[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1119103, member: 8799"] I also now through using pump, find it easier to eat less of the starchy type carbs and substitute for more vegetables instead which doesnt bother me one bit as I was used to eating low carb when first diagnosed type 1 in the mid 60's (50g carb to last the whole day for an 11yr old wasnt that much and I started to look extremely thin and made my mum worry about my well being and eventually spoke to someone at The British Diabetic Association (now DUK) about how thin I was looking and miserable too and got told that I needed to see the consultant and have my insulin increased so that I could eat more food. My bodyweight then increased and my happiness also. As I got older, I then realised that insulin controlled bg levels and also bodyweight and so just adjusted my food and insulin accordingly.
