[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2408689, member: 365308"] I don't think raising calorie awareness will do anything at all to combat obesity or other forms of metabolic disease. I think that the government and big food find the calories argument to be a convenient way of blaming individuals for their lack of portion control regardless of the fact that they go out of their way to make moderation an unrealistic goal for a majority of the population. Our diabetes UK group was mainly type 1 so inevitably we've all been on our carb counting courses and believe that we can use a maths equation to perfectly dose our insulin! I totally agree that this would be poetically impossible to do for the 1% of the population we represent. I don't carb count but if I wanted to as you say there's a plethora of ways to do it. Low carb/Real food is gaining traction so I have to remain hopeful that it will filter down and that includes for type 1 s as well. [/QUOTE]
