I must respectfully disagree. I think dietary awareness and control - of some form or another - is vital for good glycaemic control in Type 1. The extent of dietary restriction/control will vary from one individual to the next, of course, but at this point in my diabetes journey, I feel somewhat disillusioned by the notion that pumping and carb counting can allow Type 1's to eat 'normally'. (Whatever 'normal' means!)
It would be so simple wouldn't it. Sometimes, I wish I could eat I want and just have an injection to cover the carbs, but it doesn't work that way, not for me anyway. It's the aftermath that is uppermost in my mind and a balancing match.
