Basically just going to keep on doing as at the beginning....half the normal dose for it, and anything need fixing, fix it later. Seems to work fine so far really with very little fixing needed. Not a perfect fix, but a good enough one which works for me and you don't have a set of scales when your in town getting lunch.

I agree with JWo on this one. Had the same problems with jacket spuds and asked at my DAFNE refresher course. I was told to weigh the potato raw and work out the carbs from that weight. This has worked for me since.

Good luck Smile

I thought the OP was having problems with hypos early on after eating one............as opposed to counting the CPs, thats the easy part..... Smile
