[Insulin and meals, from carbohydrate counting to dose calculation].
Adapting the insulin doses of type 1 diabetes patients to the amount of carbohydrates in their meals requires the personalised and individual link between carbohydrates and insulin for each meal to be established as well as the patient's active participation for an accurate carbohydrate estimate. The help and support provided by caregivers during the setting up of this new strategy must take into account patients' experience and expectations.
