[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2243908, member: 401801"] There's no carb counting with Lantus, it's a long acting insulin. Carb counting only works if you bolus (with short acting insulin) for your foods. And yes, hypo's are indeed scary, so something to avoid, especially as you live alone. You mention having trouble with food as it is? There's LOTS of different eating disorders, so it'd help to know what's going on. Say, for instance, if you're a binger, key is to only have stuff around that's no to low carb, so you won't spike your blood sugars with it. (Like cheeses, olives, eggs, that sort of thing. They're filling, and it won't up your blood glucose.). There's lots out there you can eat, and eat a lot of. Even if being a vegetarian restricts your options, there's still quite a bit you could dig into. There's always a work-around, just takes some time to figure it out. I have migraine and rheumatism food triggers, those make my meals a little harder to figure out too, but I did it, eventually. So whatever your issue with food is.... There's ways. Somehow. And you don't have to get it right overnight. [/QUOTE]
