[QUOTE="TJR56, post: 1197095, member: 247787"] As a T1 and also someone who has severe gluten intolerance (brother and sister also T1 and coeliac) I use experience and measuring by eye best for calculating a bolus dose. I try to ring ahead to alert the chef/waiting staff when eating out that I can't eat gluten. Chefs are generally good at recommending suitable dishes or making modifications so that food is safe to eat. It works for me and as a long term T1 I know that for me one tbs rice = 5 units, and 3 egg-size potatoes needs 6, same with a rounded tbsp mash, half a large potato. Experiment at home to work out your insulin requirement. Like everything else to do with diabetes management, you need your wits about you, but it's great when you can play by your metabolism's rules and win! Persevere! The odd Joker gets thrown in every now and again, but, hey, sometimes we're dealt a difficult hand. [/QUOTE]
