Hi all

Just made some courgetti with pesto. Do I need to inject for it? It was 250g of veg with a spoonful of pesto.

I'm 7.7 right now so I'm kind of intrigued to see what happens without a bolus.

Thanks

I don't bolus for courgetti and my bs levels do not move!
 
Thanks. If this is true for me, I'll be the happiest man in England! Will update you in two hours. Ha.
 
I would bolus 1 unit. That will be interesting experiment for you, let us know about the result
 
Thanks Ewelina. I thought of doing 1 unit too, but I'm curious to see what the damage. will do!

It wont be a massive damage and you will clearly see if you need a bolus for vegetables or not. I definitely need to count them. You were 7.7 before meal which would probably need a bit of correction
 
Possibly, it's just the first time in weeks I've stayed in the blue Libre bar "in range" for the whole day! It's been such a good blood sugar day. I'm just trying not to correct unless it's meal time or pre-bed at the moment. I can't handle injecting myself so many times a day. I really need that pump!

Agree. I would also bolus some very small amount.
 
It went up by 0.8mmol
