[QUOTE="doyco385, post: 897313, member: 194701"] Hey Ewelina, Well im currently doing it right now, had dinner of fish and chips around an hour and a half ago. I was 6.1mmol/L before dinner and ate 115g of carbohydrate. I did a bolus of 5.75U (3.45u with dinner and then 2.3u over 2.5 hours, I use novorapid as well) and an hour and a half later, I am now 8.3mmol/L. Just to make it clear, I haven't used a delay, i've basically just increased my basal rate over this time by 2.3u/2.5 hours = 0.92u per hour. I remember reading an article about needing to increase the bolus amount by around 25% when eating foods with high amounts of saturated fat to counteract this, and from the looks of how my blood sugars are going, I would say atleast for me that would be true. Im going to order pizza tomorrow and give it a go! I'll make sure to let you know how I go! :) [/QUOTE]
