Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hopeful34" data-source="post: 2724156" data-attributes="member: 378858">Writing as an adult, the dietitian that used to be present at endo hospital appointments, was totally inflexible on carbs per meal/day, and I learnt to listen and ignore very quickly. Food isn't the only thing to affect blood sugar, there are 42 other listed factors. I don't eat a high carb diet, but when I tried to go lower I was having to bolus for protein, and every different type of protein required a different insulin to carb ratio, so it ended up being too stressful for me. As well as stress raising my blood sugar, things like excitement and happiness do, so we're all different. Basal rate testing has shown that the amount of basal insulin I need varies quite a lot, and I know a few people on the forum have said the same.</blockquote>
