[QUOTE="hels, post: 390649, member: 54992"] No problem. I remember all too well how overwhelming it is to be told you are type 1 and getting to grips with different insulin doses and target blood sugar levels. I haven't been on a carb counting course but quickly worked out the effect different foods had on my blood sugars. Most of the time I stuck to set insulin doses with my meals and limited my carb intake ( and stuck to a pretty boring diet). As I got a bit more confident I sometimes adjusted my insulin dose if I was having more carbs (I was pregnant over Xmas & New Year and had various meals out to deal with). My partner did hassle me a bit as he was concerned that I should eat more carbs for the baby. The other thing I did was test, test, test. I read a lot and I'd manage to scare myself about the birth. I was convinced that being induced early would inevitably lead to an emergency Caesarian - as I said before the birth was fine. It's good to do one research and understand what you are dealing with but sometimes you need to step away from google!
