Does anyone count carbohydrates and give their insulin based upon their carbohydrate count?
My primary physician was treating me without very good results. I asked her to put me on insulin thinking that would take care of it. When it really wasn’t successful she said that I was doing a lot for not much benefit and she sent me to an Endocrinologist. He put me on a carb counting, insulin dosing schedule and it has changed everything. My A1c used to be mid to high 7. and since I have gone to carb counting it is running 6.2 and below. My last A1c was 5.3 I don’t agree with you that carb counting is a pain. It’s just balancing your intake with the insulin you take. It’s carb counting, not carb restriction. By the way, I use insulin pens and would suggest them for everyone. Diabetes is a patient controlled disease. I think carb counting is the way to go.
