[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 1279019, member: 49223"] When eating out its hard to be perfect and probably best not to try or worry about it, you could take a guess and have a jab in advance of your first course (for the first one), or leave it till the meal arrives and then do a carb count and take a jab for it (taking away any advance insulin you might have given), then do this again for the second course and then once more for the third course. This way you do not over or under dose the insulin and you can adjust for each course based upon what is delivered to your table. Basically - you can give insulin for the meal carbs (as above) or you can do it for what you'd like to eat then only eat the carbs you dosed for (second is a lot harder as you need to stop eating carbs once you reach the level or take more insulin). Have a great time and enjoy yourself :-) [/QUOTE]
