[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2121029, member: 374531"] When I was learning to drive a car in my 20s, it was slow and steady, learned on slow, quiet back streets how to accelerate, brake, 3 point turns, all that basic stuff, before moving on to faster stuff on the bypass, and it wasn't till a lot later that I loved chucking my Rover 416 SI round bends at speed. Your team will be taking you through the initial stages of this slowly because you are not yet ready to do the fast bends at speed. This may involve what seems like a very limited diet to start with, but bear with it. They are trying to reduce the variables until they have a basic idea of how you respond to insulin. There'll be a point at some stage in the next 6 months or so when they loosen the reins and you will have to make the decisions. T1 has been described as the, "ultimate patient treated condition". You'll have to make the calls on how fast you drive that Rover 416 SI round the bends. It can be exciting and terrifying, and you will inevitably make mistakes when you are learning this stuff. There's a lot of techniques which you're not aware of yet: pre-bolusing timing; stacking; absorption rates differing dependent on macro components; gi; and so on. You'll learn about those over time. I'd encourage you to avoid the "all carbs are bad, don't eat them" meme which is very popular with T2s on this site. That is not true for T1s. Carbs can be managed very well in a T1 context, provided some basic rules are learned. [/QUOTE]
