Carb counting workshops for type 1 diabetes

About the workshop

This full day workshop will help you to:

• Have flexibility with food choices and meal planning
• Be more accurate when working out insulin doses for food
• Keep your glucose levels in target, especially after meals

In our hands-on workshop we will cover:

• The role of carbohydrates in diabetes
• Identifying carbohydrate (carb) foods
• How to work out the carb amount in different foods using food labels, recipes, and carb counting books
• Hands on practice calculating carb amounts in real foods
• Tips and tricks for carbohydrate counting while eating out
• How to manage the effect of fat and protein on your glucose levels
• Apps, books and websites that will help you master carb counting long-term.

One workshop participant said the workshop helped to “remove my ‘guessing’ and make it more accurate by getting a better understanding of serving sizes“.

This program is suitable for teenagers, aged 16 and over (accompanied by an adult) and adults with type 1 diabetes using multiple daily insulin injections or an insulin pump. Please note this workshop does not cover insulin adjustment or the operations and features of insulin pumps and bolus calculators.
