[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 430862, member: 11028"] [b]Re: How much insulin/chinese takeaway?[/b] Difficult to guess the carbs in a Chinese Takeaway as you don't know how much flour or sugar they use in the dishes, what I found easiest was to stick with the same establishment every-time, the portion sizes vary from takeaway to takeaway and the cooks use less or more of the ingredients that raise our bg, so finding one that sells good food and sticking with the same dishes you can estimate quite well the carb content of the food going by past experiences.....if that makes since!!! I always get a chicken curry with fried rice and have a few prawn crackers that come free with the meal, as the meal is high in fat I don't inject all my insulin at once but split the dose over a period of hours, were I to inject it all at once I'd hypo soon after eating.
