Hi Guys

Recently read 'Think like a pancreas' and it was great! Im trying to factor in the GI of foods but Im having trouble with pasta. Despite injecting the correct bolus for the pasta at the appropriate time, I still get a blood glucose spike hours later. Is there something I am doing wrong with pasta? Do I need to split my dose?
Sorry to ask, I just love a good bowl of the comfort food and don't want to give it up!

I have a pump so do an extended bolus, but yes, try splitting it. You'll have to experiment with the timing and split percentages.

Glad you're finding the book useful :)
