[QUOTE="jopar, post: 207887, member: 11712"] Hi Matt Sorry can’t abide muscles so can’t answer that one, but I would look at the crochet potatoes more so if these were homemade, as it could have been a miscalculation of total carb content, due to breadcrumbs always hard to estimate carb content on a breadcrumb coating.. As to Russ’s epithets basically what Russ is saying using intolerance to carbs to describe the problem faced by the T1 diabetic’s is bolder dash! I’m a T1 diabetic, I’m not insulin resident, nor am I’m allergic to carbs, my body will appropriately handle any amount of carbohydrate thrown at it as long as I’ve got my calculations right of the insulin dose… And this is where control problems arise purely on this calculation, it’s a good idea to read up Bernstein’s small number theory/principle explains this matching of insulin problem well, even though I do agree with the principle I don’t agree with his prescribed carbohydrate amounts… The bases of the principle is that the larger the number the more likely unpredictability will set in surrounding either insulin adsorption, food adsorption and control being effected by unpredicted changes not calculated for.. So small numbers limited the impact of miscalculation.. Even though I agree with the principle I don’t agree that any individual doctor such as Bernstein or Dr Jay Wortman can prescribe an amount that fits all.. When I study what they have to say, it’s very much like revisiting my first consultant many years ago.. And the carbohydrate exchange mantra.. My then consultant/diabetic team prescribe not only insulin but also the amount of carbs per meal and snack, which reasonable worked well, but nowhere as near as effective as me being taking the reins to determine management/calculations involved… If you are having a lot of variable unpredictable outcomes with control, it may be that insulin pens as a delivery system isn’t helping, and you might get a better control with the improved control of delivering insulin via an insulin pump!
