[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2384758, member: 527103"] With Type 1, we can eat carbs if we know how to dose. Initially, we are taught to carb count and dose according to the carbs. No rough guess but actually count. Then, we need to consider when to dose. For some meals this could mean splitting our dose, A healthy pancreas dose this itself. But to mimic a healthy pancreas is not easy. We have to chose how important managing our blood sugars is to our lives. Some choose to limit their carbs to make this easier, some chose to repeat a similar level of exercise every day to make this easier, some chose to rely heavily on technology through looping, and some decide these are not things they are willing to do because it stops them having the life they want today. Rough guessing carbs will result in some highs. Limiting carbs or limiting choice makes this easier as the errors are smaller or you have to do less guessing. I chose not to limit my carbs, to exercise when I want, to have tough meetings at work. But this means I have to keep a closer eye on m6 blood sugars and may lots of adjustments. [/QUOTE]
