[QUOTE="Miss Piggywig, post: 2691314, member: 570182"] Hi, I can't believe how difficult this is! I'm carb counting and I'm gaining a better understanding of my ratios but need to work out how they change throughout the day. I've been low carb for 8 years ( was diagnosed Type 2 and with low carb controlled blood sugar, now diagnosed with slow on set type 1) been told I need to eat carbs with every meal for insulin to work. Also told that to much protein will spike my bs. I'm so confused. The weight is piling on and numbers randomly rise. They come down after meals but then 2-3 hours later start to raise with no food. I think just thinking about a snack of any kind sends it up [emoji3064]. I'm only 3 weeks in and got the figures from generally 15-20 done to 9-11 but really want them 5-7. Is this manageable? Should I eat low carb? Or is there an ideal amount of carbs per meal? Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
