I will be going on the pump next week and with all the information I am getting it sounds like I need a calculator. Thank you Lorne Stamler >> Hi Lorne: welcome, and stop worrying. It doesn't have to be a complicated as all that. Remember the good, "old" diabetic diet sheet? with all the food lists and portion sizes? same difference. Lilly has the daily caloric intake sheets. Just use it as a guide. Most of the foods listed have the average CHO content by serving size. Use it as a guide. After a couple of weeks, it will be a snap....Joan:) << Does anyone know where I can find a pocket carbohydrate calculator? I
