I love my carbs and I eat lots of them. About 300 grams/day. Just take more insulin to cover them. I'm about your age and this is just my opinion, but my endo and pump nurse mean well, but I take what they say with a grain of salt when it comes to adjusting my basals. Use the fasting tools found everywhere on the internet (I know minimed has one) to test your basals. Then test your I:C ratio. After that you should be free to eat about anything you want.
P.S.
Welcome to the forum. Lots of good help here!!
