How does one eat 250 grams of CHO in a single meal? 250 grams of CHO is equivalent to about 12 ounces (2 oz = 42 grams) of dry spaghetti. Cooked that would easily overflow any plate I've ever seen!!!
P.S. On the basal/bolus question, I think a better explanation than usually given is that the liver stores about half of the carbohydrates it normally takes in and then gradually releases that as glucose during non-digestives hours. The 50/50 ratio is an outcome of that more than anything else.
