I'm 23 and been diabetic for almost 16 years so you'd think I'd have a grasp of it by now. Only this year have I invested in the FreeStyle Libre and actually monitor my sugars frequently throughout the day and get the concept of carbohydrates. However, I have no idea how to carb count I've seen loads of nurses/doctors and they all say I've to find what works best for me but I don't know how haha I've tried 1:1 and 2:1 and still don't know what works and what doesn't or even how much to correct and how long it takes, or even why bran flakes makes me rocket up to 16 for 4 hours!
Is it best to take a note of every single thing I eat, every injection, and everything I do? Then assess it every few days?
Also don't understand how I've seen some people's Libre readings on here under 10 ALL day like do you guys not eat? Or inject like a year before eating? What if you want a custard cream? Or a sausage roll?
I'd really appreciate help and tips!
