Hi
Just a question re carb intake.
Currently on Premix which I hate btw as I cant predict anything and despite continual cutting of insulin, I keep having to eat carbs due to risk of lows and the rapidity of this - can go from 6.6 to 4 in 40 mins which makes having a life very difficult. Usually have to eat some carbs (or else at other end I will be having to dose a hypo and eat carbs anyway) Have been trying to chart profile of insulin but just when I think I know where I am with it, the time of 'nearly' hypos change. Have tried to change snack times estc.
Anyhoo, I digress
Am trying to eat low carb but due to probs above was wondering if other carbs would count to keep me stable(ie carbs in yoghurt, veg etc) or is it likely to be complex carbs I need to take with this insulin. Am trying v hard to limit complex carbs by having very small portions of potatoes (3 mini new at most) or small pasta etc but in terms of other carbs will they be enough if the complex carbs are not in abundance.
If you see what I mean
Thanks
Lilibet
