Message: <blockquote data-quote="RobertJ" data-source="post: 2756766" data-attributes="member: 351599">In recent weeks, my control has been very good. My 30-day average was 90% until a few days ago.Over this past weekend, I had some meals out and they all resulted in three to four hours of high blood sugar. For this reason, I dread every single meal out. I cannot decide whether it's worth attempting to eat what I actually want or just having a salad every time I go to a restaurant. I notice, for example, that I can have a few beers and maintain good control. However, beers with any meal seems to result in long highs. I have tried so many different combinations with splitting doses. Initially, I tried the whole two hours if I was a having a high carb, high protein and high-fat meal. However, that didn't work because it just meant there wasn't enough insulin up front. Recently I've tried slipping 70/30 for one hour or even 70/30 for 45 minutes but none of those has been a success. Does anyone try doing the stuff that non-diabetics do, such as a two pints of beer, a burger and fries or something along those lines? Or even steak with vegetables and fries, i.e. slightly less carbohydrate? I know this stuff may not be healthy but I would like to enjoy it occasionally if it was possible. Based on recent experience, it seems like the T:Slim does not prevent big, long spikes in these situations.</blockquote>
