[QUOTE="azure, post: 1278274, member: 39639"] [USER=340352]@HoneyBea[/USER] If you can find out in advance what the meal will be that can help you get an idea of carbs, but if not, don't worry. I bolus for each course (unless there are no carbs in it). I usually bolus in advance but when I eat out, I wait till the food is in front of me - to avoid going low and so I can assess the carbs. So 3 courses may be 3 injections. That way you avoid hypos and can fine-tune your dosage. Then test regularly and frequently to make sure all's ok with your carb-counting and doses. Edited to,add - if you're on fixed doses, it will be different. In that case, I'd take extra carb snacks eg digestive biscuits, so I could top up the carbs if needed. [/QUOTE]
