[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1151605, member: 30007"] This might sound nuts, but you will more or less have to do this to dose correctly. Every packet of bought stuff needs to be checked for carb content so you can dose the right amount of insulin. When making food, you weigh everything that goes into it so you can calculate the carb content and dose properly. Once you get a handle on what portion sizes match to carb content, then you can do it much less, but that is, however nuts, life as a T1. All food ends up being assessed for carbs, weighed out or not. It's no wonder that there is a high incidence of eating disorders amongst diabetics, when you consider the above! Life goes on. Normality is what you make it and how you live it, not necessarily what others say and do. [/QUOTE]
