One thing I've started is tracking the calories (not just carbs) of the foods/glucose that I eat for lows. I find that on some days those carbs easily can add a few hundred calories to my daily total. I can remain the same weight at 1500 calories...and need to reduce to 1200 to lose weight slowly. Doesn't sound like a lot, but at 5 foot 2 inches, those pounds jump on quickly.

Also, I found I was concentrating on carbs to match with my insulin. Have that talent down pretty well! But, I was losing sight of the calories and have gone back to tracking calories.

Even though I attend Weight Watchers, I still count the calories instead of the points. I think after watching several segments on TV about true calories in restaurant food (Blooming Onion at Outback is over 2000 calories...)...I find I can eat through my 1200 calories very easily if I don't track them.
