Oh, That looks yum!

I am an absolute chocoholic and I cannot restrict myself sometimes! Though I am aware that I have just a few bites and have the right dosage of insulin, my sugar levels raise rapidly. Can you please…Continue

"Diet plays a critical role. If you can maintain consistency in carb/protein content for each meal each day, you can remove most of the variability that food plays and then fine tune your insulin accordingly."

"There is also the impact of the female period to consider. I would recommend to write down the beginning of the cycle and your current day in the cycle. So on the first day you write 1 and count up for the following days. The idea is to identify the…"

"Do you see patterns in your highs and lows, Chinu? You might have to do some tweaking of doses. If you are having problems with your post prandials then you should consider altering your I:C ratios. If you have problems with your fasting, in between…"

"Yes, diet is critical. Don't know what you eat, of course, but it's quite difficult to cover very high carb meals with insulin. Absorption rates are variable with larger insulin doses & the chances of miscalculating increase. The…"

"Life without chocolate is...unimaginable! It might be worth figuring out how to use the "super bolus." It uses basal insulin to help reduce the initial spike."

"I think the main problem with treats is that they are more strongly concentrated doses of carbs. A small dessert might have as many carbs as the rest of the meal and, even if you only eat a bit of it, it's like having a sandwich or something.…"

"I had to wean myself off choclate, it was unpredictable. It never worked with my hypos, it caused a massive spike later on in the day because of the fat content. I am also on injections, so not in a position to advise, but there are plenty of others."
