[QUOTE="Key_master_, post: 1727847, member: 381523"] I’m sorry but that is wrong on so many levels. Your 200g carb meal and a 20 shot is absolutely mental. That’s roughly a full on Indian/Chinese take out with all the trimmings or a large portion of fish and chips. Which would make most type 1’s sugars spike into the high teens, even with that huge shot. I take it that’s split into 3 different sites? Please don’t advise others like that. It’s calorie counting that’s added to the problem and reducing them in replace of carbs is utter non sense. I eat more than the recommendation of calories in the form of the eggs, butter, cheese and meat heavy meals on a daily basis. With hardly any carbs whatsoever. I’m never gonna put on weight. I’m my perfect bmi, My insulin needs are the bare minimum also. When I was eating like advised and had the occasional treat like fish and chips or even something classed as not that sweet from the Chinese my blood sugars would go mental even with enough insulin to cover the meal. 15 units back then, I was very active, 30 mile off road mountain bike treks, swimming, walked everywhere. Still had a podge around my stomach. Reduced carbs and insulin and better energy sources like protein and calories I’ve never been so toned and my exercise levels have reduced to almost zero.. Playing with fire whacking 20 units of Insulin in yourself to eat a 200g carb laden meal. [/QUOTE]
