Hi everyone

Slightly confused, should I be blousing for eggs or other high protein things?

Thanks

If your unsure don't and see how your postprandial bg levels behave, I have to bolus for eggs.
 
I usually need 1.5 - 2 units for a 2-egg omelette eaten on its own, but if I were to eat 2 fried egg and chips, for example, I'd bolus for the chips and not take any extra for the eggs, so it depends what you're eating the eggs with.

Likewise, I bolus 4 units for a 4 egg omelette but for eggs with carbs I don't count them.
