[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2314102, member: 525950"] Hi, I am new to this T1D deal aswell, diagnosed April 2020. I manage my diabetes by doing a combination of carb counting and eyeballing. Everyone has their own methods I suppose. When I am home I generally count the carbs. I rarely use a calculator or anything. Literally just adding stuff up in my head. I generally cook two portions and eat one portion the next day for lunch so when carb-counting I just half it. A lot of the things I previously carb counted I seem to memorise off the top of my head. Eating stuff like bananas, apples, pears, slice of toast or even a bowl of pasta I can just eyeball because I know what a certain portion looks like and how much carbs it has. Although with eyeballing there always a risk of being +/-2 off your target [/QUOTE]
