Yes, you are right, if you calculate for the amount of carbs it says on the labels it's not a problem. I found everything a bit easier after I did the DAFNE course (I don't know if you have that in...

- Hi Valeria! The early bolus really made a BIG difference for me. It's not always easy to do (for example, when I am in a rush, I don't wait), but it helped my A1c SO much because we eat around 3 times a day and are high for 2+ hours every time after eating. I hope that this will help you, but please be careful and test a lot until you know what is the right time to wait.
When I do it right, I am not above 9 mmol/L two hours after eating!

- Hi Valeria! Good to know that someone is in a similar situation as I am!
Your A1c is better than my last one (7.9). I find that for me MOTIVATION matters the most!
The pump indeed helped me a lot. I got my A1cs down to around 6.5 for a year using the pump and early bolusing (giving my insulin about 20 minutes before eating -- this really reducing post meal highs, if you are struggling with post meal highs, try giving your insulin 5 minutes earlier until they are gone--- must measure a lot to avoid BAD lows!).
Keep me posted on how you are doing! I think that I will get my A1c measure next week. I'm really hoping it should be under 7 as my numbers have been better recently!
It's amazing what our future children can get us to do!! :)

Danny said… - I just turned 37, I was diagnosed at the age of 12. I have several blogs that I have wrote about my life with Type 1 Diabetes, but they are in archieves right now :). I manage to keep an upbeat, semi positive attitude even after 25 years with Type 1 Diabetes (and a few minor complications).
TU is a wonderful site... hope you stick around. Drop by my page any time and say "hi".
