[QUOTE="ewelina, post: 969566, member: 46259"] I believe that when you bolus for carbs only, small fraction of your ratio covers protein/fat. Try to do simple experiment and eat carb only meal and you will see you need a bit less insulin. I did it for plain rice and was a bit shocked that I needed 0.8 unit for 10g (instead of my standard 1u). Nobody really eats carb only meals thats why the ratios for mixed meals are a bit different. Dafne promotes carbs only counting but their advice is for 'normal eating'. if you follow NHS healthy eating plate I suppose you don't need to count protein or fat [/QUOTE]
