[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2415076, member: 365308"] I think the best tip I could give you is to stick to 3 regular meals of roughly the same quantities of carbs. Avoid the carby snacks as you don't need these unless you are taking too much insulin in which case you reduce that insulin. If you do want to snack what low carb options could you eat e.g. cheese, salami, boiled egg, plain yoghurt? Peanut butter on a slice of apple? Almonds? We all have certain foods we prefer so that's not really the problem but if your eating is a little chaotic then that isn't going to help you establish sensible insulin dosing. Maybe you could note down typical meals and doses for a week plus blood sugar responses? You might spot that you are under dosing for certain meals or that it is actually the snacks that are throwing things out. Or maybe your basal isn't quite right or runs out and sends you high at certain times. If you end up having the same breakfast and lunch plus dinner as a result I don't think that matters and it will actually help your blood sugars be predictable. It is hard to be spontaneous with diabetes without running to difficulties with dosing which is why I choose to be a lazy low carber (don't want to be weighing my chips or checking packets etc.)!
