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

| | 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  .

| | | 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

| | | upate...
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 |
