I will try and remember to do that. I think it might help. I was told 1 unit of insulin will lower my BG by 4mml and not to inject on a high (without food) unless over 14. So 1 unit if 14, and 2 units if 18. I do sometimes inject even if lower than 14 though to get a nights sleep without the alarms going off.I agree eating out is a nightmare. I have a fully inclusive holiday abroad booked for this year so will have to wing it  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /> . Wondering if injecting some before the meal then injecting again afterwards when I have guessed the carbs Ive eaten might work. I'll be having a few drinks too and I know that useually lowers my BG so long as its not high sugar cocktails <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite44" alt=":joyful:" title="Joyful    :joyful:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":joyful:" />Do you use ratios? Im still trying to get mine right so tweak them. I'm 5% for breakfast but if I eat bread its more like 4%. Then 10% at lunchtime and 15% at dinner time.</blockquote>
