| I had to smile and think back--way back, 25+years and more. We ate out forever, before there even WERE test meters, so what in the world was carb counting? We just "guessed and shot up" all the time anyway. Lighten up is a really good attitude, as long as one does remain alert and serious, vigilent and informed, Then, guessing a bit wrong and going a bit high isn't such a tragedy. After all, if you were aiming at, say 100, and she was close to 300, well, that sounds way off, but it's really only about 4 units of insulin off--and maybe if she was already at 150, only 3 units off. When I have to "guess", I go back to the old old "Exchange" diet--it really helps me guesstimate pretty well. Good going!
