[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 796191, member: 142835"] Hi Rochelle1990 welcome to the forum :) i see you were diagnosed about 7 months ago and are on multiple daily injections using levemir as your basal and novorapid as your bolus insulin. have you been on a carb counting course yet ? ( if so you will have a ratio of units per 10 carbs ) a portion of real chip chop chips will have approx 110 - 120 grams of carb and for me that would mean a bolus of about 26 units( i take 2.4 units per 10 carbs), getting the bolus right for that sort of meal can be difficult but with some practise you can get there !! as noblehead suggested as well chips have a high fat content which can affect the absorption rate.
