[QUOTE="vanarchre, post: 2501696, member: 333358"] Thanks for the responses. I should probably explain that I do use the other strategies primarily and have pretty good control on the whole. Most of my diet is low carb and I avoid high GI foods where possible. I also take my insulin in advance of my meal. These certainly help, but I'm trying to gather as many tools as possible so that I can respond to different situations. Speaking personally, dinner time is when I am most prone to spikes. Taking the insulin in advance helps, but if I waited long enough to completely avoid the spike, I would at times go low before eating. It strikes me that when faced with a moderate gi/carb meal taking a little more insulin and then having the corresponding carbs a short while after might help. I suppose my suggestion here is really just an extension of the advice you sometimes hear to deliberately eat slowly or save the more carby foods until last. Except that I'm deliberately adding this extra food in to an existing meal. [/QUOTE]
