[QUOTE="aphex2k, post: 2167310, member: 912"] I'm all for a good curry, I just wouldn't expect to use that much insulin. Are you including micro basal amounts plus the bolus for food? I'd probably subsitute rice for a veg dish and perhaps share a naan with the missus. Lots of my meals are sub 30g carbs but I do fall off the wagon sometimes and scoff a whole (thin and crispy) pizza. EAFaNL (eating adjusted for a normal life)..... It's funny, as I was talking to my Medtronic rep about missing the option to use multiwave. She said to basically do a large bolus, and then consider another bolus in a couple of hours depending on level. I found this odd as the information is generally not to "phantom bolus" as it messes the algorithm up, yet this is exactly what she suggested to do for big meals when I would have used a multiwave to give an instant hit with more later when the food is digested. Having a rough couple of days with levels creeping up and slow to recover. This morning I went from 8 to 12 from leaving home to getting to work (didn't eat, had a black coffee, walked to work!). Dipped a bit but then picked up and I'm struggling to get below 12 still. It's a fairly new vial of insulin but I'm going to swap out Wonder if I have an underlying infection or cold on the way. Plus it's 35c here which is a little toasty (you might have seen the bush fires we're having over here on the news?) [/QUOTE]
