Hi guys,
So I have recently become an insulin-dependent diabetic, but... Have many many questions.
I will just ask the most important question here.
First of all, during my diabetics training with a nutritionist, sugar was not mentioned at all as a possible food, in any quantity.
Could you explain why? If I know how much sugar I will have 30 minutes from now, can't I just take extra insulin for it?
It seems like this is "cheating" even if both 1 hr and 2 hrs after the meal, the blood sugar is good. So, am I still doing something wrong even in this case?
