[QUOTE="slip, post: 1244213, member: 182669"] Problem with those types of take-aways are they are full or carbs, sugars and fats. You can eat them if your on insulin, those on pumps most likely use an extended bolus, those on injections may need to work at it to work out how much and when to inject to help avoid the spikes and pro-longed highs normally associated with this kind of meal. Trial and error and lots of testing is the only way to go I'm afraid. As an example if I'm having a curry (with rice and naan) I'll bolus about 60% just before the meal, and then the rest ~2-3hrs after - I've still not found this satisfactory as I tend to still be higher than a want to be through the night and in the morning but correct again at breakfast. Work in progress - not that I have lots of Indians and Chinese's. If you give 100% bolus just before the meal I found I'd go low 1-2hrs later then much higher over night, the slow release carbs+fat and the amount play havoc with the BG levels! Your experiences may be different. [/QUOTE]
