I try and stay away from Chinese and Indian food because i just can't seem to get it right. Wake up 16 or 17 despite going to bed at around 5.0-6.0. By spliting doses what do people mean please? |

I'm the opposite. Pizzas just destroy me. Can never seem to get it right. Just graduated from daphne today and will attempt split doses but I haven't done Chinese or Indian yet since carb counting but will just need to review and record to see what affects these could have on me personally to assist to find what works and what doesn't. |

Splitting is simply taking your calculated insulin dose in two or more separate injections over a period of time, rather than all at once in a single injection. |

on the course they recommended splitting the dose for things like pizza/kebabs where the carbs are likely to be covered in grease! I am about to have pizza for the first time since the course so hoping splitting works well |

Good luck, and hopefully it will work first time! But... please don't be disheartened if it doesn't, and certainly don't be put off the challenge of eating what you want (my approach is to do my best, be happy when I get it right, and remember that I know how to correct when I don't!). |

it kind of worked lol. Still went low so i guess that i misinterpreted their carb amounts or they misprinted! I also had nachos with them which they do not print the carbs for so it made it a bit difficult. But i got through it and this morning was sat on a 5.3 so i am happy enough! |
