[QUOTE="Annie18, post: 2044891, member: 490673"] Hi I've just been diagnosed as Type 1.5 diabetic..originally diagnosed as Type 2 in September. It's been a long journey but feel I'm probably on the right path now! My hba1c at diagnosis was 109 and it came down to 70 in December. It stayed on 70 in April which is when it was obvious that something was not quite right. Blood sugar went up to 27...! Scary! So I'm on 12u Abasaglar in the morning and 4u Humalog if carbs go over 40g at meal times. When I was first diagnosed in Sept...did all the low carb thing in an attempt to overturn the diabetes...found that any carb, even the good ones spiked my blood sugar. Can anyone recommend a good Android app for T1.5 diabetics to calculate carbs in food? I've bought a carb bible but with suddenly everything else I have to carry...my handbag is not big enough! I'm trying to keep the carbs down to below 40g per meal so I don't have to inject... it's this a good approach. It's ok for breakfast and lunch but more tricky with dinner. Last night I was going to have sweet potato wedges which I thought was preferable but when I counted the carbs or was sure high. Also then read about the impact of roasting sweet pasties and releasing the sugar in them! Beginning to realise that perhaps I don't know as much as I thought! Have books with recipes in them so that will help... any advice on apps books that people use would be greatly appreciated... . [/QUOTE]
