[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 667565, member: 30007"] I started off as a kid with my parents weighing food and making sure I ate what I was allowed. I used to cheat with cake decorating ingredients and spoons of sugar, but my BS used to cope. Those were the protophane days. Once I was obviously post honeymoon, I was put on the precursor to Novorapid (I forget what it is called) and haven't really looked back. I got the benefit of an approach that was carb counting before DAFNE appeared and it stood me in good stead as it has always helped me identify the potion on a plate based on size (things like potatoes don't suddenly become more carb dense). Even when I went through the "can't be ***** testing" phase, my hba1c was coming back in acceptable levels because of this, so I was quite lucky. Generally I eat what I like and insulate accordingly, although more recently due to low carbing, I've been more regimented than I have for years. It does amaze me about some of the schemes that the NHS came up with for blood sugar control in the nineties, and I felt very sorry for my cousin, who was diagnosed during that period, as most of what he had to deal with really was rubbish.
