Taking Carb Counting into my own hands.

I recently had a doctor’s appointment with a new Endo. As we talked about my sugar readings and eating habits Dr. Mazza asked “What’s your carb ratio?”. As i foolishly turned red i replied with a “Well, um…yeah…I just guess most of the time.” She was impressed that i had such an ‘okay’ A1C level and not counting carbs, but still i saw a drop of disappointment. After leaving the office, i proceeded to the ‘Education & Research’ wing of the hospital to see how much a ‘Carb Education’ course was going to cost me. Well lets just saying, seeing the price is when i decided to (dun dun DUN!) take carb counting into my own hands!

I found a pretty cheese site that provided info to how to find my ‘Blood Sugar to Carb ratio’ and ‘Blood Sugar to Insulin ratio’ ( 2 things that a diabetic of 6 years SHOULD already know).

So i am quite excited to know these special numbers to then use to count my carbs and KNOW what my sugar will be with the amount of insulin I’m taking; what a concept, eh?

I have to perform the test with 2 to 4 hours of fasting so i will keep you posted on my results.
