[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1874462, member: 41816"] Short answer :D: I counted carbs for just long enough to get my head around good/bad/hidden carb foods. Then I stopped counting and started focusing on making my food as enjoyable as possible while keeping blood glucose in range. On the very rare occasion I count carbs (periodic checks to avoid the dreaded carb creep) i am almost always under 20g a day. When I stray, it is with full awareness and a meter to hand. If you eat to your meter, you really don’t need to carb count. Just adjust your portion sizes up or down to get your blood glucose where you want it. No need to overcomplicate things. Unless you want to log everything on spread sheets and micro manage. Some people love that, and kudos to them. But it bores me to tears. Fortunately, I am diet controlled, so insulin and carb ratios are not (yet) a required part of my life. [/QUOTE]
