When I count my carbs right, I can eat more than 1/2 of a large pizza (I'm 6'4") and keep my bg's under 130 for more than 3-6 hours. It is nothing short of amazing what an extended bolus can do for you. Also called a "combo bolus". I take 60% up front and the rest over 4 hours to account for such a food's drawn out bg raising properties.

Other foods and with mistaken carb counting I might be over 200 within 20 minutes!
