Avoiding Carbs
I’ve been a type 1 for a couple years now and since getting diagnosed I try to avoid carbs as much as possible, I eat them when I’m getting low and what not but most of the time I’m eating chicken and vegetables to try and steer clear of spikes. I just started using the Omnipod 5 and my diabetes educator is on me about my carb intake saying I need to eat more because in my app I haven’t been having to bolus really as I see myself low more times than high. Do I have a closed minded approach to carbs? Are others this way? Don’t get me wrong I like to eat pizza every once in a while but then I’m fighting to get back in range. I was on pens for most of my diabetic life and with my insurance the Omnipod didn’t cost much so I started it 2 weeks ago and I find myself wasting more insulin with that.
