[QUOTE="azure, post: 1329719, member: 39639"] I suggest he gets Think Like A Pancreas and Pumping Insulin. They're both fantastic books for a Type 1 pumper :) I'm surprised he was told to,eat a set amount of carbs. Also, I'm very confused that you say he was told to stop carb counting. Do you mean in the general,way that people refer to carb counting here (ie watching how many they eat per day)? Because carb counting in relation to Type 1 means assessing carbs and adjusting bolus insulin. One of the things you have to do before going on a pump is show that you can do that. As for the NHS diet, I've never had a problem with it or dieticians. I've always been told to adjust it according to my needs and have never been told I have to eat a certain amount of carbs, protein or fat. Type 1s usually have more leeway than many Type 2s due to insulin and the lack of insulin resistance (usually). [/QUOTE]
