[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2066350, member: 374531"] Every so often, questions are posed by T1s about their bg being out of whack, and it's surprising the number of times it turns out that, whether through them not being taught it in the first place, or having missed or forgotten it, that they don't know about basic things like basal testing, pre-bolusing, correction factors and not overdoing hypo treatments. Getting those things right can resolve a lot of problems. It's too simplistic to say bg is out of whack therefore it must be the carbs. Anyway, a chocolate eclair is only about 10g, a slice of cheesecake about 30 to 40g, and those are trivial amounts in a T1 context, especially when eaten at the end of a meal, when the other macro components, and, indeed, the fat in the dessert itself will slow absorption to a rate which will very often nicely match the insulin action time profile.
