[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1694286, member: 94348"] After nearly 40 years with Type one - 97% veggie -my experience is that it is best - as i think others have suggested - not to eat this if you have none of your own insulin left, and rely only on injected or pumped in insulin. Increase the veg, make it half your meal, every meal, get salad and whatever else veg is on offer, throw out all but 3 of the fries, and just eat one burger and half the roll. Recalculate the insulin needed. If you do have the meal you mention, and need large amounts of insulin, watch out for a 'tail' of late insulin action, so have 10 plus carbs, fruit etc later. testing one hour after the meal you mention is expecting a lot, i would never eat that much carb by choice in one go. The whole idea is to keep the levels of insulin in your body as low as possible while keeping your blood glucose ok. Circulating insulin stimulates weight gain and other nasty things as far as i understand. if you think you need more protein and energy, or if you are hungry, have a small pkt peanuts or cashews etc [/QUOTE]
