I just sat here reading posts and unconscientiously ate a quart of my grand
daughters real (sugar-filled) ice cream. I was out of CarbSmart and was only

I'm new to the list.  Working on trying to control glucose.
A1C was 7.1 last november, reading a month ago was  down to 6.7.

Lantus to 46 units and shoot in 6 units of Novolog per meal, assuming my BG

have to cook (either at work or the night before) and things that I
