[QUOTE="daisynova, post: 271617, member: 13779"] Congrats on your second pregnancy! With your breakfast, I am guessing you have around 40-50grams of carbs in your porridge breakfast normally so I would check the carb totals of what you will eat on your holiday. Generally a croissant will be around 20g then more if you add jam or marmalade. Have a wee google online for carb counting or get a hold of a copy of Carbs and Calls. Once you know the carb total of what you are eating (or about to eat) then you can give yourself enough insulin to cover it. So if you give 4 units to cover 40g then use that as a guide - 1unit of insulin per 10g carbs to be eaten. Not entirely accurate but it should help you keep those highs down x [/QUOTE]
