Ah the pleasure & pain of junk food!
I find chinese *very* hard to bolus for - pizza too. All take-out foods affect me horribly but they're the worst (of course, because they're my favourites - you bastard, Murphy!!)
I can't say I have it sussed, but I'm getting there. What I do now is inject just a couple of units before eating - I mean 20 - 30 minutes before, so that my blood sugar is already dropping by the time I eat. Then I jab the 'usual' 3 - 4 units for the meal as I start eating, and I'll still need a 'top-up' jab about an hour & a half later, another 2 or so units.
So, all in all, to cover a junkie food meal, I have twice the usual amount of insulin than I'd usually have for most high carb meals, and 3 jabs over the space of a few hours.
I'm really not sure it's worth it! But at least it's a step forward in discovering what I can & can't do. As far as I'm concerned, I want to avoid anything that'll cause me damage. If I can find away around the damaging stuff, then I'm happy
After all, a gal's gotta have her treats
