147. Q&A - "Should I have more than one carb ratio?"

from Empowering Type 1 Diabetes: with T1D Nutritionist Andi Balog · host Andi Balog

About This EpisodeIn this Q&A episode, Sharon asked me "Should your insulin-to-carb ratio be the same for every meal? Or should I have more than one carb ratio?". This is one of those things that can make or break your blood sugars through the day but often gets overlooked. In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually influences your carb ratios (and why that “one number” you were given at diagnosis might not be cutting it anymore).Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast app or share this episode on socials to help me help others😊 Links and Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THR1VE Online Recipe & Video Trainings Membership for Type1s and Carers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get The Better Bolusing Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠ to bolus with confidence and regain food freedom⁠⁠⁠Watch the Carb Counting Masterclass⁠⁠⁠ to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ibdmedical.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your questions answered on future episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠DisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.
