Thanks Jen and Sophia
I asked why i should not count the carbs in veg as i thought all carbs should be counted and i was told that due to the high fibre they are digested so quickly that they don't have an effect.
My daughter never has as much as half a plate of veg but i might work out how many carbs are in how much she does have to see if that amount would make much difference to how much insulin she would have.
I will be cooking spaghetti bolognese at some point this week and i usually use 2 tins of chopped tomatoes for the sauce and she will eat a third of that which must be a fair amount of carbs yet i was still told to disregard them :?
Hhhmmm that is a good idea Jen about delaying the insulin for a more fatty type meal instead of splitting the dose. I might try that, so if she started eating at 5pm, finished at 5:30pm, i would tell her to inject at 6pm??? That might be easier than injecting at 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
After another weekend at her dads she is yet again high this morning, despite a correction with breakfast i am betting she will still be high at lunchtime as she was mid morning.
It really annoys me how much just 2 days there sets me back in sorting her levels out as it seems to take 2-3 days for her to come back to testing what she was before she went
