OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the degree of satisfaction of that approach in patients treated by intensive insulin therapy. METHODS: 50 DM1 patients submitted to carbohydrate counting for 6 months answered a questionnaire related to the lifestyle. RESULTS: The answers were favorable in: >80% to requirements related to the choice of the number of meals, to eat out, schedules of meals and social and daily activities, glycemic monitorization and interest in reading food labels; 60% to 80% answered favorably to topics related to the choice of the food type, the amount of food, the consumption of food rich in sugar and the participation of last minute activities. CONCLUSIONS: According to the participants' opinion, carbohydrate counting is a very well accepted procedure, allowing a better lifestyle.
