... I wonder if there is a formula for calculating based on your pre and post prandial test?
@Hooked
I'm presuming you're injecting insulin here so forgive me if you're not - You could work itteratively ...
I know that might take you all day and it could be a lot of coffee but, well, you are 'Hooked' :lol:
step 1 - test Blood Glucose
step 2 - Inject Insulin amount
step 3 - have a coffee
step 4 - wait two hours
step 5 - test Blood Glucose
step 6 - adjust Insulin amount
repeat from step 2 if results at step 5 are too high or low.

Seriously. No lollies, no iced coffee, no ice cream. Summer is looking worse by the minute.

Fallen_skydive_angel said:I know both Costa and Starbucks have their nutritional info for all products as I have asked and they've been really good at getting me the info when requested when I order. Starbucks also have an app which tells you the nutritional info for every drink etc. And Costa's website has a fab feature which automatically updates the nutritional info in real time if you add syrup or milk etc to your order.

I've never had one TBH, could you not second guess the carb content of these drinks using the nutritional information from the larger coffee chains and see how you get on?
