Snacking and stacking

I don't think of myself as snacking but grazing. Sometimes I snack on low/no carbs but usually have some carbs.
Like you, I am able to eat whatever I like without putting on weight.
If I wait for 3 meals, I feel hungry in between. This may be due to wait I eat or may be due to having a fast metabolism or may be something else. So far, I have seen no ill effects from my diet and way of eating.I inject for everything I eat before I eat it.
I've never thought of it as stacking but I often add insulin before the last dose has finished.

I am not sure if you consider me a "good" T1D but my hb1AC is under 50.

If I have a drawn out meal with multiple courses I simply inject for every new course. So occasionally it has happened I injected at 5 for a beer, at 5:10 for a snack to accompany the beer, at 5:25 for some more snacks because they were simply too good, at 6:15 for the soup, at 7 for the small pie, at 7:30 and 7:45 for the main course, again because the carby dish simply tasted too good, and at 8:30 for the ice-cream. As by that time, I didn't have a clue how far off I was with guessing carbs, the last 2 doses were smaller than what I thought I needed, so I corrected twice about 1 hour and 3 hours after.
Worked just fine, actually, but I'm happy christmas is only once a year

In normal every day life, I don't mind 'stacking' as long as I'm pretty much on top of my doses per food. I need the same amount of insulin for the planned and injected for cookie right after a meal, as for the same cookie an hour later. So it is the same if I take 8 units for meal + cookie or 6 units for meal and 2 units for cookie after an hour.
The main trick seems to be to keep in mind how much you have eaten and how much insulin you have on board, and how sure you are of your doses. I wouldn't pull tricks like that first meal if I hadn't planned to stay awake for at least 4 hours after to see what happened.

Hi @Timostags, Rather than pushing carbs and insulin, have you tried more protein and fat intake?
Just a thought.

During my sedentary working day I probably put a bit much insulin in at the beginning and maybe too much basal, then use that to allow me to snack through the day. So I'm not injecting for each lump of food I take, I'm eating to bring my sugars up but in a sort of planned way. Not necessarily an approved technique, it requires me to not overreact to BSL going low and to eat in time, but it sort of works for me.
(is this "sugar surfing"?)

If I wanted to put weight on, I'd just eat more and inject for it, and not worry too much about stacking - but I've got large gaps between bolus at the moment where I can do that if I want.

The one time I do have to watch stacking is after an afternoon out in the hills. I need a little bolus when I get back, having been using the exercise to keep sugars low (and snacking on the way round), and enjoying a snack on my return. If supper isn't too long after that I need to remember there will still be some bolus left over from earlier. But so long as I do, it seems to work.

I am, like you, able to eat anything and not put on weight. I do snack BUT on carb free items if possible OR low carb items

When I was diagnosed they asked me to do 3 meals a day. With the amount of exercise that I do that just led to further weight loss - and after DKA that was the last thing I needed.

I now snack mid morning because I can handle that from a dosage perspective. Still struggling for mid afternoon munchies because I can't have novorapid in my system at around 4 when I leave the office - hypo time.

So I stack in the morning.
