One of my goals in dealing with my diabetes is to avoid (or postpone it as best I could) the day that I would be forced to count carbs.
It's not too bad. Thing is, if you use insulin, you have immediate motivation to learn how to do it. Your chances of spending most of your life feeling OK improve dramatically if you learn how to use insulin correctly, and the few minutes spent on carb counting seem insignificant in comparison.
