[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1099224, member: 17713"] Not so sure on the higher carbs needing more insulin ratio myself.... If you have more carbs it depends if it's with more fat... Ie 50g of bread wouldn't have so much fat as 100g of pizza... I think it depends on if you're having something else higher fat mixed in with those higher carbs. Or on the type of carbs... If it's carbs for 50g of that bread again compared to 100g of icecream...I would actually need to reduce amount for the icecream as its glucose peaks quicker and I would be hypo 3-5 hours later.... I think it's more based on the type of carb and what additional fat or protein might go along with it. Ie I can't eat pasta anymore, but 20 years ago when I could I would have to give normal bolus and more basal at night to counteract it's longer lasting effects. Same with any takeaways... [/QUOTE]
