Hello, @parkinsonryan , and welcome to the forum!

I see from your profile that you're on Novorapid for your meals and levemir for your basal insulin.
That means you're, in theory, able to adjust the amount of novorapid to the amount of carbs you're eating.
How are you deciding how much to take for your meals? Are you on fixed doses for every meal or counting the carbs and dose for that? Have you done a DAFNE course or such (if in the UK).

It's hard to help you out with your questions when we don't know a bit more.

Good luck, and please tell us some more about the way you manage your diabetes, maybe we can help you out a bit!

Hi @parkinsonryan
When you say “bad for you” in what way? Blood sugar levels or something else?
Have you been taught about dose adjusting and carb counting yet?
As Antje says you can in theory eat anything you fancy - but it may take a bit of tweaking to get the insulin right.
