| Yes, you can adjust your insulin intake to match the number of carbs you're eating. Also, it's normal to need lots of insulin adjustments after diagnosis. Injecting insulin takes some of the strain off of a pancreas that may still produce tiny bits of insulin. This is called the "honeymoon" and is only temporary- eventually the pancreas stops producing insulin altogether in people with Type 1 diabetes.
I suggest that you talk to your doctor or nurse about making these insulin dose adjustments. Like you said, you're pretty new to this and they can help you make these changes safely. As you get more experienced with insulin and learn how your body reacts to various types and doses, you will be able to make adjustments on your own.
Good luck and welcome to DF!
