[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 667655, member: 14029"] My Mum was taught to carb count my food from day 1 in 1965. I was supposed to have a set amount of carbs for each meal plus a set amount of insulin in 2 jabs a day. Isophane hadn't been invented until I was about 8 years old so just had 2 injections of soluble/neutral insulin a day which obviously only covered about 16 hours a day if I was lucky. Once the basal insulin's came along and I wasn't allergic to them then Mum worked out that if I had a x number of carbs with x amount of insulin then it was obvious to her that my dose could be altered as could my food amount. It was obviously very hit and miss in those days as no home blood testing was available :) But I survived [/QUOTE]
