[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2306620, member: 140811"] The text book response to this is that you can eat whatever you want as long as you bolus correctly and keep on top of your glucose levels. And many T1's can do this successfully. After time and a lot of testing, a few of us find that reducing carbohydrate intake makes glucose levels easier to manage. But don't worry about this too much right now and don't obsess about glucose levels. Work to reduce your overall average level gradually because there is evidence to suggest that dropping too quickly may cause permanent damage to eyesight. So let it take a few weeks to settle down, "nice and easy does it"! Edited to add, stress raises your cortisol levels and that's a cue for your liver to release lots of stored glucose so "relax".
