They never eat the same exact amounts and they are both on different carb ratios. So, when it gets hectic and they are both talking at once and I am tired, it gets confusing. Then there is always one of them that says "wait, what? I thought I ate 72 carbs and she at 60..."

I'm quite mathematically minded and even sometimes I get in a muddle (particularly when low).... it's mind boggling sometimes how much maths we do on a daily basis to manage our condition.

I do the conversions on a chart that I give to the Endo. I also use a converter online so when I make posts on my blog, I can put both numbers down. I think it's amazing how much math is involved in Diabetes management.
