[QUOTE="KarenAdamson, post: 1012737, member: 196746"] Tell your hubby to enjoy his Christmas and to stop worrying as he can eat what he wants as long as he adjusts his Novorapid to allow for the carbs. If he doesn't get it right he can always take an adjustment dose the next morning if he needs it. That is our advantage over the Type 2 Diabetics who limit their carb intakes. I've been a Type 1 for 43 years and the only really akward thing is weighing my carbs to calculate how many carbs I'm eating. Apart from that I will pig out as it's Christmas. If he drinks quite a bit over Christmas he should snack whilst drinking. Nuts are always a good option as the carbs aren't too high. By snack I mean carbs as opposed to no carb foods. Your husband still might be helped even if he doesn't want to discuss any problems. He is more than welcome to visit the site and he will discover there are many people here who have lived with Type 1 for many, many years without bad things happening even if we all have hiccups at times.
