Some like MyFitnessPal will give you a calorie target if you put your height, weight, etc in. For the carbs, as you’re on insulin and other meds, you’d need to talk to a medical professional before reducing your carbs else you could have a hypo.

As I said in a recent post to you, you might find a basal/bolus regime of two separate types of insulin gives you more flexibility to adjust your food.

Ok, so you’d have to reduce carbs very slowly over a period of weeks so that your Tresiba and other meds could be adjusted if/when needed.

Do you have a set amount of carbs for each meal? Do you know how many carbs you normally eat per day?
 
know how many carbs/cals i eat a day keep notes in my diary Am careful of wot i eat My Tresiba has been cut twice as im loosing so much weight. Am thinking of asking the Bertram center at NN hospital for a appointment with a dietitian Do you think this is a good idea
 
I’ve been there myself. One thing that helped me was focusing on more balanced meals—lean proteins, healthy fats, and lots of veggies. I also tried intermittent fasting, which worked well for me in terms of both weight loss and managing blood sugar.

A friend of mine was dealing with similar issues and decided to buy steroids online after consulting a doctor. He used them responsibly, and they helped him with muscle recovery and fat loss when combined with his workouts and diet. It’s not for everyone, but it made a difference for him.
