@Gaffer type 1 Are you on a fixed amount for your bolus at each meal at the moment?
I'm asking because I know a lot of people are to start with. Even though I already had a good idea of carb counting, I stuck to the 4 units with each meal and correct a higher than 10 before I went to bed as firmly instructed until I was let loose with adjusting my doss. Even then I had to have all my homework done and checked for a month with a clear diary of what I'd eaten, accurate carb counts, dose taken, all blood sugars recorded before officially being let loose.
But, yes, taking everything else into consideration, I do now take extra or cut back as needed.
Morning all...
