Should I split bolus for McDonald's?

[anouser1]

Hey all. Thinking of getting McDonald's later (would get chicken strips and chips). But obviously McDonalds is really high in fat. Should I split the bolus? Obviously it's not an exact science for everyone, but would it be recommended?

I’m like porl69 I just take as normal and just get it down my neck , saying that not had a Mac Donald s for ages , I prefer a Bk spicy bean burger , but as I’m on a health kick at the mo I’ve not had one of them for ages either , oh the sheltered life I lead lol.
The only thing I do is take my fast acting insulin about an hour and a half AFTER I’ve eaten Spaghetti Bolognese, but that’s just me it’s an individual thing totally blood sugar dependant but as many here will tell u pasta has a tendency to up your sugars later than u expect ....

Hello @anouser1 from a personal point of view I wouldn't split a bolus on it, for foods like pizza and curry then yes I would, however it's what works for you, so try it without and if this doesn't work then next time you'll know, let us know how you get on ?

Thanks for all the help everyone, much appreciated. I also have to split for pizza (which I got right perfectly on my first try the other day ) and spaghetti.

I have done based on the amount of carbs ordered and/or whether it is rather high fat content. More upfront though.
