[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2320196, member: 451727"] Hi there, in a nutshell, yes and it sounds easy doesn't it. It's not though, because so many factors impact upon the 'how much insulin to take' and the dosage you give yourself is based on experience mainly and involves whether you've exercised, your mood, your work, whether you're ill, and on and on. A non diabetic's body works every minute of every day to ensure your glucose levels remain stable no matter what you're doing whereas a diabetic is trying to emulate that. That's what I mean when I say you may have to adjust, for example if your levels were too high or low or swinging wildly up and down all day long then you may wish to adjust your diet to have fewer carbs as that may stabilise it in a better way. Diet is very important to a diabetic in a way that it might not be to a non diabetic so it's a question of an individual finding the best diet for THEM given any underlying conditions. x [/QUOTE]
