Carb counting/insulin dosing

First time I have a ham mushroom and cheese inlet I gave a small insulin dose and my b's levels crashed and ended up hypo. Now I never inject for omlette unless I have something carby with it or in it. I would personally air on the side of caution and if your only having a tuna omelette wouldn't inject and see how it goes and test Every half hour to see how the omlette affects you. Would rather be a little high knowing I need some insulin next time than go hypo realising I don't.

Hey Leanne - if you're seeing a reduction in levels after lunch like an omelette, then you probably need to check your basal levels. That kind of post lunch drop with no bolus insulin on board is usually indicative of too much basal insulin.
