[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2044368, member: 87354"] Eat a known volume of food, so that you can work out precisely how many grams of carb it has. Bolus what you think is right, and work it out as a math equation - so many units for so many grams. Make a note of the test and its results. If you're hopelessly out, then correct with insulin, and adjust the dosage up or down accordingly on the next test. Eventually you'll work out your correct dosage for a given amount of this food at a given time of day. Then move that food along to lunchtime. Repeat test ..... and so on. After testing for the same food at breakfast, lunch and dinner you'll have a rough idea of how your ratios change through the day for that food. Once you've tested with lots of foods you'll know if the ratios hold true generally. (Did I say it involves a LOT of testing?) [/QUOTE]
