I remember when Daphne came around, I went into Daphne course which taught me how to do, it's not the carb counting as it was now, I do Daphne, which is in a way carb counting, So I always look at the amount of carbs that I take and I would then from that work out how much insulin I would need to add. And again because I have the pump, my pump has the amount of insulin to carbohydrates already pre-programmed for different times of the day. So it's easier than it used to be when I was using the pen. that I really don't know how I will be able to manage my blood sugar without some form of carb counting because carbohydrates go in, blood sugar rises. You need to know how much insulin to put in to counteract that. So to me it seems like carb counting is probably the best we can do until we go to some sort of a closed loop system that will be able to deal with that in a better way. you
