[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1554763, member: 11028"] Getting the basal dose right is the foundation to good bg control, so I'd start with a basal test, just eat breakfast (make sure its a low-fat breakfast) and test around 4-5 hours after, if your bg ends up going high in the afternoon then you'll know it's a basal issue rather than your I:C ratio or rebound high. The following link has some good info on basal testing: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] That's the trouble and no doubt the portion sizes will vary from day to day, you could download the Carbs & Cals app which might come in handy, but if you don't get the hang of estimating the carb content of the food at work then just take a packed lunch, that way you'll know the carb content of your lunch and can bolus accordingly. Agree with [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] about high-fat foods such as lasagna, it can cause a delayed bg rise and such meals often require a split-dose bolus. [/QUOTE]
