I noticed none of the pharma companies lists a "suggested meal-GI" for any of their products. Granted, it is slightly different for each individual, BUT there should be a general range, as "rapid" insulin definitely has a different associated meal-GI range than Regular insulin. This seems rather irresponsible to me. People figure out, or already know, whether they are faster or slower than the mean.
Has anyone figured out the general "Meal-GI" range if using rapid-acting insulin (Lispro, et al)?
(I have figured out the R range on my own, and am investigating rapid-acting)
If none...
For those using rapid and using CGM: What complete meal gives the best performance (straightest line)? --please describe each component in grams, and please be specific -- such as, if using potatoes, include what type and method (50g yellow potatoes, boiled). Condiments, if any, etc.... I can figure out the rest and will reply.
Thanks to all who can respond.
