The 500 Rule is a calculation that is used to start working out for Type 1 diabetics to say how much will 1 Unit of Insulin cover the carbs. This is called the insulin-to-carb ratio or simply carb factor. The problem with it is the assumption that the average adult consumes 500 grams of carbs...

It is awesome that you cook your own food and you are active. However as you will find, if you use a blood glucose finger prick meter a few items will probably really spike your blood sugar. Bread, Rice, Oats, Noodles and a lot of fruit in one sitting like you had in day 3 lunch. If you can...

Cappuccino needs at least 75 ml (4 Gram Carb) probably more like 100 ml of milk and a small Latte 150ml min. Yes, I like my coffee and experimented with what I can "get away" [emoji3] without reaching for my bolus as I am not on a pump, and find it a mission to inject for a cup of my favourite.
