Are you pump or mdi? If pump do a combo bolus or mdi split the total dose and do two injections to try and beat the high?

Chinese love to fry their meats.. Another thing is the high glycemic jasmine rice and sweet and sour pork, full of sugar and flour. I don't eat those stuff. Prefer steamed fish and stir fry vegetables.

I always have a little extra insulin for Chinese. I find the sauces can be deceptively high in carbs, so when I count the carbs, I allow a bit extra insulin. I also always test frequently after to catch any highs.

It's an occasional treat for me so I like to choose my favourites. I do limit my rice though, but will,have a small spring roll and prawn crackers. The very sweet sauces are often like pure sugar so I limit myself to a tiny taste of those.
