I was reading all the threads, and like whoa, people only eat 100 carbs a day?! I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't follow that. I eat about 60 Carbs every morning with breakfast (always cereal), about 75/90 at Lunch, and about 90 at supper time. I've eaten this number of carbs, pretty much my entire life, even before Diabetes, and my nutritionalist, whom I see about every 4 month's says I'm doing fine. I'm 21, and been Diabetic for almost 10 years.
I would just throw a word of caution out there regarding your nutritionist. I was told the same thing the one and only time I saw a nutrionist...100s of carbs/day, lots of grains, wheat, bread, etc. I followed what she said for a while, and my control was bad. Very similar to you and most others on a diet like this, I would go up the low 200s after meals and back down to normal before the next meal. The only thing that gave me tight control...cut carbs.
nutritionists are required to follow standard protocol. X amount of fat, protein, and carbs per day based on weight, age, activity, etc. I'm sure a lot of them eat completely different diets than what they tell their patients.
You, like me, are still in the honeymoon phase, which makes things much easier. You could keep carb loading and be fine for a while, but eventually when the blood sugar roller coaster kills off your remaining beta cells, things will get much tougher. I'm sure I would be done w/ the honeymoon phase if I would still be on a high carb diet, but by eating low carb and keeping normal blood sugar(83mgdl) as often as possible, im hoping my honeymoon period will be prolonged for a long time.
Just something to think about from a fellow (somewhat)newbie who was in the same boat!
Disclaimer: each individual responds differently. That said . . .
I find that some portion of protein always converts to carbs. If the meal contains carbs, the proportion of protein that gets converted seems to be less, but it's never zero and always enough to affect my BG. Consequently I split my mealtime boluses in two: some up front, and some later on to cover the slower-digesting protein. That's what gives me good results. Your experience may vary.
I will have to keep an eye on the protein mixed with the carbs too to see if a portion of the protein needs to be counted as well. As for the honeymoon phase, mine must’ve occured before diagnosis because the Docs told me my c-peptide was 0.01 which 1-7 is normal so I had no known honeymoon phase. 
Yes, .01 is pretty close to rock-bottom.
My experience with cereal is the same as yours, Shawn. It skyrockets my BGs. But it usually does so almost immediately after eating, not 2-4 hours later.
The cereal experience with diabetes is so common. It's as if it is the original comfort food. Some of my earliest food memories are of Cherrios and milk. We want to, in the worst way, hang onto the cereal habit. Now that I fully realize the damage that it does to me, I no longer grant it the power it once had. I am no longer in cereal's thrall.
