Just after a bit of advice …… I am a type 1 on MDI.
I have been reading 'think like a pancreas' - amazing!!!
I am trying to balance my GI portions with when I do my bolus …… but I think I have now confused myself with the slowing digestion from high fat content!!!
I just had a cheese and ham panini and chip - not a usual thing for me and don't usually have as many carbs in 1 go anymore - my sugars were slightly over target before lunch so I was going to give my injection 30 mins before for the high GI panini and high/mod chips but the fat content of the cheese and ham confused me - would it slow down the peak from the high GI bread/chips?!?!? I decided to give my injection 15 mins before instead - is that right?!?! Obviously will check post meal bg. Does the fat content slow the spike from high GI foods?!? x
