Do you carb count and use insulin based on this?

[QUOTE="kaylz91, post: 2141928, member: 358175"] There are many type 2's on a basal/bolus regime (exactly what you are on) that carb count and adjust their insulin to suit and match what they are eating so in my opinion if they have a problem with it they are absolute idiots and need retraining and also told to stick it where the sun don't shine! Sorry I do apologise but here you are working out correctly exactly what you need to do so they shouldn't criticise that especially as your doing it to better and look after yourself Interestingly though you seem to assume all Type 1's carb count which isn't the case, I have come across many diagnosed 20+ years that don't carb count and adjust their insulin, some never even having heard of it! I however could never have lived like that so self taught carb counting less than a month after diagnosis and my team were fine and dandy with me wanting to do so, so off I went, I can tell you it made Christmas day by far easier for me! Well done you and keep up the amazing work! xx [/QUOTE]
