Thanks! I plan to save 15g/meal.
My fear is if I eat the 45g/meal and go low during the day, that I’ll be way over for the entire day, so saving the 15g feels like a good plan. At least for the first couple of weeks as I adjust to the program.
With T1D, some days are perfect and then I could eat the same thing the next day and my blood sugar react differently.
I have pretty good blood sugar management, I feel comfortable with my plan, I just wanted to ask if I don’t use/need the 15g that I save, what would be the best option for the best results- eat them by the end of the day to make sure I get all my macros or not eat them.
I know my insulin sensitivity will increase and I’ll have even better control over the course of the Challenge, I think I’ll see how it goes the first 2 weeks.
Thanks again for your advice and response.

Hi.
That’s my plan, save 15-20 carbs for potential lows, so for example instead of 45 carbs/meal, reduce that by 15/meal and use that 15g Carbs if I go low between meals.
But I wasn’t sure if I didn’t need that 15g carbs for lows should I add them back in, either with the next meal or at the end of the day.
T1D has its challenges/Obstacles and I’m working with my endocrinologist, but she wasn’t sure about the daily macros, but she and I know that I need a buffer for potential low blood sugar management.
Thanks so much for your response!!!
This is my first Challenge and I’m beyond excited.
