[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2282909, member: 21149"] Hi. My personal opinion on the subject of carb-counting it that it should be started from the 1st day which is not what most surgeries or clinics do. My lovely DN started me carb-counting when she started my Bolus. it took all of 20 minutes and a Roche leaflet with pictures of carb portions; she spotted that I'm a bit of a nerd! 18 months is far too long to delay carb-counting. Most people like me are started on 1 unit of Bolus to 10gm of carb. It is important to test frequently to avoid a hypo and if worried start with a lower dose of insulin. Talk to the nurse if you can make contact to get specific advice for yourself. [/QUOTE]
