Tried carb counting for first time on my dinner today and bloods dropped low will it take time for my body to get use to the carb counting?

It's not the carb counting that dropped you low. You either over estimated or your ratio is wrong. What did you inject and for how many carbs ?

Agree with mo1905, if you're sure you counted the carbs correctly then sounds like your insulin to carb ratio is wrong. Can you give us more details?

Charlotte, I don't know if you've seen the BDEC carb counting course so I'll post the link just in case:
