[QUOTE="Soplewis12, post: 1349593, member: 71170"] I was very similar to you. Diabetic for 24 years & ate set amounts of carbs with each meal although no weighing always a guesstimate. I started carb counting 3 years ago but refused a pump. I inject lantus a.m. & late before bed. My life has improved since carb counting, much more even blood glucose levels, breakfast & lunch are very easy as you tend to eat similar foods each day & you quickly learn the carb content, it's dinner that can be a bit more tricky but I always weigh any carbs. A great book is carbs & calories. You can get it on Amazon. I tend to inject straight after eating dinner as you may not eat all the carbs on your plate which would result in hypo if you've already injected. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
