[QUOTE="victoria__1986, post: 473704, member: 93948"] Hi, I have been carb counting for the past three weeks, and I'm just sat down reading through the list I have of all the carbs and their values. I have been a diabetic since I was 3 years old so have never had chocolate as a snack only as an emergency in a hypo. I'm reading through the list and and it says a standard Crunchie bar has 22g of carbs. I do 1 unit for every 10 grams of carbohydrate. I have always been told not to inject with chocolate as it raises sugars then they drop very quickly. Using carb counting, if I fancied chocolate would I inject to match the carbs in it or would it result in me having a hypo? So complicated! Thankyou in advance [/QUOTE]
