They look good! Recipe please?
 
Your produce always looks so perfect and professional! Those wraps are so evenly cooked and round. Really impressive!

Why would you want to take insulin for 1.5g carb?

Assuming you mean fast acting.
You would be surprised what a mere couple of g carbs can do with my basal dose profile. There is also the protien to account for later on in the meat?

Do you deal with insulin? Your profile is confusing as to diabetes type.
I have no cynisism with the recipe. Just the fact my pen does 1u at a time.

Why would you not take into account the proteins accompanying the wraps?

I would not be without my half unit NovoPen Echoes. Wonderful bits of kit if you use NovoNordisk insulins.

yes i have a half unit pen so i wouldnt be bolusing for 1.5g carb if that was all i was having and i cant see why you would want to. 1.5g carb by itself is no way sending your bg int orbit.

If i was having chilli with it i'd bolus for that depending on how much i had, because of the kidney beans and tomatoes and onions

Also i dont think my profile is confusing - it says other type, i have a type of diabetes that is not on the options list. I am diagnosed T2 but awaiting an appointment in April to decide whether or not this is correct as i have very low insulin production. So i am type uncertain and that is not on the list therefore it is an other type.

Have you been put on any meds? This deifines a lot of the posts I’ve seen from you on appropriate interaction regarding exchange of interpersonal experiences.

MDI for about 14 years

So, are you T1? Your profile suggests “other type.” I’ve no more wish for confusion. I do MDI as a T1 since my teens after child hood on porciine.

No i'm not T1, my type has not been decided yet though my records say t2 whether i am actually t2 or t1 will be decided in April. So I have an "other type" of diabetes that is not on the options list - because my type is not yet decided properly.

Thank you. Not to undermine your personal condition. Just gaining an understanding where you are right now.
One unit on my pen equates to 6 or 7 g of carbs. Lately. I can’t bolus for any less on my pen. It is unfortunately 1 U or nothing you would be surprised what carbs afect my basal dose.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by this statement about carbs affecting your basal dose?
Your basal doses should be pretty much independent of food.
