[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1047591, member: 21149"] Hi. Two points. The first is that when on insulin although you can reasonably eat what you want to you will put on weight if you have too many carbs. Secondly it appears you aren't yet carb-counting which is important in the longer term when on Basal/Bolus to reduce the risk of hypos and enable you to vary the carbs at meal-time. Do ask the nurse for guidance on this. There are courses the NHS runs for this but my DN explained it to me in 15 minutes when I started my Basal/Bolus so it's not difficult. So, as the other posters have said, it's your choice what carbs you eat at F&Bs as long as they are matched to whatever shots you take and avoid weight gain. [/QUOTE]
