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?

I think an appointment with a dietician is an excellent idea @gail2 🙂
