[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1987138, member: 264425"] I eat what is normal for me! Lowish carb in the week, higher at the weekend when a girl just wants to have fun. If I go out to someone’s house I eat what they have produced and keep a carful watch over rises. As a type 1 wearing a Libre I have found ultra low carbing more difficult to control than moderate. I don’t take large amounts of insulin anyway. I find that the blood sugars will behave much better in the hours after eating if the meal has a small amount of carbs in it. As a rule I no longer eat potatoes, rice, bread or pasta. But it doesn’t mean I am never going to eat them. The main carbs for me in a meal will be fruit. I always finish a meal with a piece of fruit, nuts and a piece of 90% chocolate. What I rarely eat are desserts, not because I can’t, but because I find them too sweet. [USER=467598]@Indy1282[/USER] i am presuming you are Type 1 as you have posted on the Type 1 page. I think perhaps to feel less fed up you need to let yourself go occasionally. Use the Libre as a tool and inject more insulin later if you feel you have underestimated. It is not human nature to deprive ourselves day in day out, when in fact we don’t have to. [/QUOTE]
