[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 1901044, member: 467776"] Agree with the [I]extreme[/I] part, but there needs to be far better education at diagnosis around the role of carbs. I think the default advice should definitely be [I]lower[/I] carb / [I]capping[/I] carbs per meal, it just makes it so much easier to manage and balance. Explaining insulin is only half the equation. At diagnosis I was told eat what I want and inject 4 units of novarapid with each meal... how mad is that?! The bottom line is that only 6.5% of T1s achieve the Hba1c target of <48. Normal carb intake just does not work for most T1s, people need to be told this at diagnosis. Only a tiny, tiny, tiny number of T1s will be able to regularly eat what they want AND remain in range.
