Carb counting is counting the carbs in your meal and then calculating the correct amount of insulin so your BS is in range after eating.Or, if you're on  set doses of insulin, it can be making sure you have X amount of carbs for your insulin dose.Good control is impossible without counting carbs. If you got help to count carbs, you'd reduce these wild swings and feel a lot better in yourself.I'm glad you're not feeling ill, but if you do feel bad remember that you can get advice from 111 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
