[QUOTE="azure, post: 1151733, member: 39639"] If you're on fixed doses of insulin, definitely don't remove carbs - that could lead to severe hypos. Most people here avoid [I]excessive[/I] carbs. There was a thread ages ago about how many carbs we Type 1s eat, and it was interesting to see. I eat something like 150-180g and my control is very good. Carb counting is absolutely key. That and timing your bolus appropriately. With experience, you'll learn how insulins works for you and how to use it to best cover your food :) Think Like A Pancreas is often recommended here - it's my fav diabetes book. You really do have to be your own pancreas. [/QUOTE]
