Great advice so far.
I want to add that as part of my job I have buisness lunches out very often and I also like to eat out at least 3-4 times a week. Obviously I don't have the exact carb count of what I'm eating. There is a lot of trial and error but soon enough you figure out specific dose for specific food, like a medium size potato needs x units of insulin etc. Many times I'm looking at a meal and I know that it's not something I ate before and I'm really not sure how much insulin I need. What I do is make an educated guess and make sure I test a lot and correct. The next time with similar food I have a better idea how to handle it.
