[QUOTE="azure, post: 1451890, member: 39639"] Keep a record of what you eat. Carb counting is crucial and the basics aren't hard. Don't suddenly cut your carbs right down as you're in insulin. You need to reduce carbs gradually (if that's what you want to do). Experiement logically with meals. You'll find lots of the carb info on the packets. It's Total Carbs you're looking at eg if you normally have two slices of toast for breakfast, look at the bread packet and you can work out how many carbs that is. If you eat yoyr two slices and have a high blood sugar after, then you know you either need to eat less carbs or have more insulin. If in any doubt, speak to your nurse first. Go slowly and steadily.
