I hit pasta straight up, no combo bolusing or anything. It works for me as long as I don't eat a boatload.

lol duck....well i noticed that about 2 hours after eating it i was 7mmol...2 hours after that i was 9mmol...i corrected right away so i dont know how much higher my bs would have went....does anyone combination bolus pasta?

Most of the time I stay away from Pasta, b/c I have a hard time with figuring out how much insulin I need to cover it. Even if I measure it out, I still usually end up off :banghead:.

I do 40/70 over 2 1/2 hours. 50 units over that 2 1/2 hours. Pasta hits me hard with the BS and some times (depending on how much I eat) I will have to give myself another straight amount about 1 1/2 to 2 hours into the bolus

Same here for me, no combo bolus for pasta.... Just count your carbs accurately. Symlin works nice with pasta BTW!

to help other people out

i decided to eat 1.5 cups of cooked pasta which is about 60g's of carbs, along with some tomato sauce,(obviously- whats pasta without tomato sauce)and some chicken parmesan (mmmm good stuff!!) at about 8:00pm

i used a combination bolus, 30% immediate the rest over a 3 hour period
went to bed at 6.2 (a little high for me i usually attend to keep my sugars around 5.2mmol) and woke up at 6.5

so it seems this combination bolus worked out very well for me...i did not test befor the 3 hour mark after eating but im assuming it went well than
