Hi - can people tell me what they do when eating out?
Say Ive chosen a starter and a main (skipped the pudd) and I estimate that the starter will be 20g carbs and the main say 50g. Do other people generally wait until they see the starter and then take a glucose reading and then take inslin at this point and then do another insulin adjustment (both courses worked out by carb counting) when the mains arrive?
Or do you generally take your full insulin dose at the start of the meal when the starters arrive?
