[QUOTE="hyponilla, post: 2185458, member: 509037"] This sounds a bit obsessive, but when I got T1 ten months ago I started weighing everything I ate and logging it in MyFitnessPal. It was tedious, but it quickly taught me how to count carbs, fat and protein. I also got good at estimating weight, so it was worth the time. Counting carbs is not an accurate science. In the EU the nutritional labels can be out by 20 percent, and this is even worse for vegetables.

Cooking them alters their structure by turning starch to sugar so you'll be more likely to spike. Hang in there, things will get better. You seem to be doing well. If you eat out, just be that weirdo who asks for the sauce on the side (that's me by the way ;)). [/QUOTE]
