[QUOTE="Peppergirl, post: 1511888, member: 330374"] I find I cannot get the tight control I need by eating more than 30g of carbs a day. I tend to restrict fat too so mostly eat eggs, veg, meat and fish. I take a lot less insulin now which means less room for error. I also don't have cravings for sugar anymore and eat a lot less than I used to. I could scoff a huge family bag of crisps, bagels, toast, it was ridiculous, feeding the insulin. Now I fix mild hypos with a couple of dextro tabs instead of a mars bar, biscuits, any sugar in the fridge. OMG I hated that. It would be great if I could eat what I want, even within reason, but after 25 years of MDI and feeding the insulin, I'm sure I have a sugar addiction. The DAFNE course I went on told me that I could eat anything and cover it within insulin, but on MDI I could not stop the spikes at all. I need my libre to stay within range which I achieve with only the odd mild hypo. This should improve when I start on a pump in September. But this won't tempt me to start eating bread again... You'll find the right amount for you with recording everything and what feels right because everyone is different. [/QUOTE]
