| Carb counting basically means you find out how many carbs one unit of insulin covers for you and then read on packages/weigh/guess how many carbs you eat, and inject accordingly. Gives more freedom than set doses... You cover what you eat, instead of feeding insulin.
It's the most simple way to explain it i guess...
