[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 639442, member: 21149"] Hi. If you are on the Basal/Bolus regime then carb counting is really essential. The aim is to minimise blood sugar levels and swings to avoid hypos. It also avoids weight gain thru excessive insulin. Forget calories and think carbs. Many of us started with a ratio of 1 unit of Bolus to 10gm of carbs and tweaked from there; I have stayed with that ratio as it's about right for me. There are many sources of info for what foods and quantities have 'n' carbs. My DN gave me a Roche leaflet that showed this. Yes, get the Basal right first. [/QUOTE]
