Hi All
Need help with something, just moved on to Basal Bolus (Levemir and Novorapid) and readings all over the place and trying to get to grips with it all.
My BG reading before lunch was 8.2 I know thats bad but since starting this on Saturday its been running high to say the least.)
Then I had lunch of:
1 little gem lettuce heart, 1 med tomato, 2 radishes, few slices cucumber, stick of celery, couple of spring onions and a small portion of egg mayonaise with bacon (sandwich filler) 1 nairn oatbiscuit - 4g carb in this.
I took 3 units of novorapid to cover this. 2 hours later I was 8.9.
Now my DN says not to count carbs in veg (which is rubbish) however I cannot see how what I had amounted to roughly 30g carb (based on the average of 1 unit for 10g carb). From her point of view I had 3 units to cover 1 nairn oatbiscuit :lol: which is ridiculous.
So either I am completely miscalculating the carb content of the salad or ???
Can anyone help me with this. Its doing my head in!! :?
