Hi everyone!
We have been making use of the Hello Fresh service for a while now, and have been loving the variety of easy meals. The recipe cards give all nutritional info which is really useful for carb counting too!
I went onto the DANA pump in November (and was using the omnipod for 6 months prior to that), and it's working brilliantly for me. But I have an annoyingly high CIR (carb to insulin ratio), I'm on 1u for every 6g carbs for my evening meal, which is NOT helpful for weight loss. But i digress.
In the early days with Hello Fresh, I noticed I was going quite badly hypo in the evenings, and most meals were showing in excess of 80-90g carbs. If we ate out or had anything that wasnt a Hello fresh, my 1:6 ratio worked fine, no hypo.
So, is it possible that the "carbs per portion" section in the nutritional info is actually showing carbs for the full meal (for two people)? Has anyone else had this problem before? I'd consider that my ratio has changed with having better control but it works for everything else that I eat in the evening
Thanks
Shannon
