[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2035017, member: 365308"] Hello and welcome Ruby Jane! It is early days and as Mel says, you have the tools with the libre and possibly the pump, to experiment with different dietary approaches. I am with Dr Bernstein and Mel with regards to the seeming impossibility of calculating insulin doses when eating lots of carbs but choice is the most important thing here because I think for some who eat similar meals at similar times (not me) find they can get the basal and bolus doses right. As for mums, ;you may just need to lower your expectations of her 'getting it'; hopefully she is a good mum in other ways! She can't solve the issues that come up as we type 1s are our own experts but I am sure she will be chuffed and proud to see you getting on with life without T1 getting you down (no mean feat). How much weight do you feel you really need to lose? Obviously if you'd dropped from a normal weight pre diagnosis then you'd expect to gain a little back. On the other hand if you feel you are really piling it on, then you might find the low carb approach really helps with both appetite control and insulin doses. I've found this lady's vdeios great btw (she is a type 1 like Dr Bernstein but I find her presentations a little easier to get into): Her name is Jody Stanislaw. There's also Adam Brown (google free ebook Bright Spots and Landmines). Both American and taking a low carb approach but perhaps not as rigid as Dr B! [URL]https://www.drjodynd.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
