Hi was wondering if you may be able to help as I am getting very confused, and it really doesnt take much to confuse me!! I am a very new graduate of DAFNE and am finding it really tricky to calculate how much insulin (QA) to do for rice... so 100g uncooked rice is 8.5 CPS and 100g cooked rice is 3CPS I understand the CPS would be less for cooked rice as water would dilute the carbohydrate portion but which cp number should I use to inject with? As obviously there is a big varient, and I find my blood sugars just go mad with either uncooked or cooked. |

I personally stick to the before cooking weight because Ive found it to be a lot more reliable. Once its cooked, if you need to split it, make sure you split the after cooking weight evenly because then you know how much to divide the before cooked CPs (I regularly have to split it by 2 so only have to half the before cooking CP total). So glad its only the weight that shifts due to water being absorbed or this would be madness lol. |

The 100gr of the raw rice is 8.5CP and when it is cooked it will turn into 310gr of cooked rice because of the water it has absorbed during the cooking. The cooked 300gr is also 8.5CP, which is 2.8CP for every 100gr of cooked rice. |
