Hello,
I have been type 1 diabetic for 20 years but I havent learned about carb counting. I mostly used gramms to calculate novorapid units. For example
Morning : 100 gr bread + a glass of milk ( I inject 6 units novorapid)
Lunch: 400 gr carbs(macaronni, rice, potatoes e.t.c.)+ 100 gr meat or fish or cheese+300 gr salad with a teaspoon of olive oil+1 medium apple+30 gr bread(i inject 10 units novorapid)
Dinner: Same as lunch
The problem is I cannot determine how much novorapid units per carb exchange so I can make some modifications to my meals(eat less or more).
I can manage pretty well my blood sugars with gramms estimation but i want to learn carb counting. Thanks in advance.
