We found by calculating the carb ratio and giving half the units before and then the other half of units about an 1hr later seemed to stop both the highs and lows. Two injections for one meal isn't perfect but if it allows them to enjoy their favourite foods without reprocussions, then i think you'll find its worth it. Another thing we found and i'm not sure if this just applies to Andrews pasta as its gluten free, but whislt boiling if you can change the water at least twice and get rid of as much starch as possible, you'll find he wont need as many total units. Hope this helps, but unfortunately as with all foods its all trial and error,Goodluck,Suzi x</blockquote>
