[QUOTE="jopar, post: 268982, member: 11712"] Are these meals Pasta and/or high fat meals as well as large! And what do you call a large meal? As what I determine as being large meal, would probably me a small to standard meal for most people... So you really need a carb count lot easier to visualise the size... Quick basic answer, is food such as Pasta, Pastry, high fat meals are a lot slower at adsorbing and can continue to impact on your bg's hours later.. And onto this, the more carb content you have in a meal, the more insulin needed the larger the dose the more unpredictable the adsorption of the insulin can bit... Of meals such as pizzza, Chinese etc is splitting the dose in two, so you inject part of the injection before you eat, and then the rest after you've eaten... the time scales and dose of each split is something you need to work out what suits best, and testing...
