Im sure it has helped her get her readings back to where they should be. Zoe asked me to respond to this post.We did try strict carb counting for a while but it really stressed Zoe out and after discussion with her medical team we relaxed a little. Whilst we dont count carbs exactly we are very aware of how Zoes blood sugar reacts with the foods she likes. She had a full food diary to show our dietician and she was happy that Zoe was eating sensible amount of what she does eat, carbs included, but that she did need to up her intake of fruit and vege. We discussed lots of ways to do this. For instance, we had stopped buying juice as it raises her blood sugar so quickly, but we are going to change the insulin regime to cope with a small glass of apple juice every day - one of her five portions!Zoe is doing really well after a difficult time and I am really proud of her. I think its time I joined this forum too!Thanks againPenny</blockquote>
