Dual wave rates for high fat, high carb meals?

[London36_]

Having fish and chips tonight which always messes my sugars up with mega hypos after bolus despite using dual /square wave ... then mega highs in the middle of the night.

But I really fancy it so I'm going to have it!

Carbs and Cals just told me fish is 46% fat, 33 carbs (never would have allowed that many for the batter?!) and chips 32% fat eeeek (approx 50 carbs)

Anyway, does any one have an approximate magic formula for such an unhealthy meal? How much % each way or square? How many hours?

My magic formula for pizza (100 ish carbs) is 40-60 dual wave 4 hours but doesn't work here.

THANK YOU

Hi @London36_ - how did you get on? I don't have a magic formula as such but since getting the pump I've had fish n chips 3x. I had a small cod & around 1/2 portion small chips. I assumed 35g cho each time & luckily my sugars have been in range afterwards. That may not work for you but that's what I've done. HTH

Hiya,

Thank you- good to see what works for other people.

Good news was I didn't hypo bad news was I was quite high all night. I did 40/60 dual wave for 5 hours. Might try 50/50 for 3 hours next time?
