[QUOTE="smidge, post: 348967, member: 29301"] Hi Nimster! I eat a low-carb diet - about 50g a day, and very little starch carb. However, as Sam has said, I still have to take my rapid-acting to cover low-carb meals. For a chicken salad lunch (about 8g carb total), I will take 1.5 units Apidra. Salad, vegetables etc do have carb and do need to be jabbed for - calculate them and jab. It is a myth that carbs in these things require no insulin. It actually makes me very angry that nurses keep telling people this. If you are going to continue eating starch carb, wholemeal might release sugar slightly more slowly than white (although for me it is identical), but it will still release sugar and will need exactly the same amount of rapid-acting to cover it.
