[QUOTE="Jazz97, post: 2039745, member: 504488"] Luckily I didn't go quite that high today, kept it 21 for my highest points. Problem is, as I dont know my ratio, it's really hard to judge what I can eat. I'm being told to eat normally (and that I will continue to be able to eat normally) by the nurse, and then i come on here and everyone is low carb. The other problem is that I'm on 8 units as a fixed dose, and my levels do come down usually after about 4 hours to normal levels, so I dont want to not have enough carbs and have a hypo. I guess I'm just confused and frustrated and getting mixed information. Also i really dont understand how someone can feel full without carbs. I already feel hungry all the time! I've got an appointment with the nurse on Thursday, so will be asking all the questions I can possibly think of! I'm trying my best to cut out carbs here and there that o would normally eat. But 21 after a couple of weetabix?! I get they're not low in carb, but still! It's all just a bit of a rollercoaster... And now I have to eat again with the BS still high from lunch! An extra unit me thinks and a close eye through the night! [emoji24][emoji854][emoji31] [/QUOTE]
