@Mr Dog Just to be pedantic, insulin is measured in units not mls. A unit is a tiny, tiny amount.
There’s nothing wrong with bagels. What you’ll find gradually as you become more experienced is that you’ll be able to move the time you inject further in advance of your meal in order to reduce the spike. As an example, I have to bolus 30mins in advance of breakfast as that’s my most insulin resistant time.
Type 1 is largely about appropriate use of insulin rather than limiting carbs. The saying is that it’s a marathon not a sprint, so take things slowly and be patient. It takes months to get a handle on things and, even for those who’ve had Type 1 for decades, perfection is impossible. Remembering that can help hugely.
