its a medium one with a normal base. pizza sauce, mozarella cheese, pepperoni, ham, sausage, spicy sause and ground beef.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
We get medium from Asda - and they are normally between 90 and 110cho per pizza. But remember to inject half and then the rest 3 or 4 hours later to avoid your spike!:D

Enjoy🙂Bev

thanks bev, i might try splitting the dose. But it scares me a little...can it be say, an hour after eating? I'm really scared of seeing yet another 20 😱
 
Sam,

1 hour after eating wont have much effect. But you could test at 1 2 and 3 hours - then you will know how long it takes your body to digest pizza. I would say for most people it is at least 4 hours. Dont be scared - if you test each hour - then you cant go far wrong Sam - and you will have to get used to doing this for the pump! I will be asking questions tomorrow!:D

Please try - you dont want a late high do you?😱
 
Sam,

I hope you enjoyed your pizza?:D

I just wanted to say that i shouldnt really have tried to give you advice on how or when to split your dose - just because this used to work for Alex doesnt mean it will work for you. I hope you didnt feel pressured into doing what i said against your wishes - i am not qualified to be giving you advice Sam - sorry. It was meant with the best of intentions, but it is not my place to give out such advice - it's a very personal thing and what works for one may not work for another!😛

Let us know how it went anyway.🙂Bev x

oh bless you 🙂 I was eating so never noticed the replies, Its ok, I only asked cuz I was curious having never ever been taught how to do things like this. Bad teams! I've just had another 10u, so am hoping it works. If not, well then, try something else next time 🙂
 
Have you had the full amount of insulin for the pizza?

I would tentatively suggest that you may need to keep testing for the next few hours - it wont do you any harm to test and will help you to spot if your going high.🙂Bev

sounds like a plan :D and i've had what i reckon is the full amount. Its hard to do guesswork for takeaway :confused: I'm gunna test in a bit and see how things go, that way I can correct if needed 🙂

Thanks for the help and suggestion though hun, very much appreciated!!
 
two hours after the pizza and i;m 14.8

plan? Shall I have a few more units?

I think I'll be boycotting pizza from now on

If it were me, I wouldn't take more insulin only two hours after - you might already be coming down.
 
17.1...

seriously

not ever having pizza again :(

this is TWO NIGHTS RUNNING MY SUGARS HAVE DONE THIS 😡 and ok so it wasn't with pizza yesterday but STILL! How annoying
 
ok so here's what happened. Obviously injecting the second half so soon was a bit of a mistake, hence the 17.1. I had a few extra units. Still not sure if I should have done that or not.

BUT

sugars now at a more respectable 9.6. Still not quite there yet but getting there. Gunna have to keep a closer eye over the next few days anyway as I'm playing with my lantus again...tried 15u tonight after hypos at 3/4am consecutively for a week.
 
Glad to see your sugars are coming down. 🙂 Pizza can be a bit of a nightmare, and I think it takes some trial and error to figure out the best way to deal with it. It took me a few goes to work out that I need 60% up front and 40% two hours later.

I might be wrong here, and I'm sure others will correct me if I am, but the fact that you hit 17 would suggest to me that maybe you need *more* up front than what you took? If you'd had more insulin active at the beginning, you wouldn't have gone so high, so maybe next time you could try a different percentage split? I also tend to find that for meals that are particularly high carb (like pizza!), I need a few more units that what my ratio suggests, so it may be that something like that is going on?

Bloody diabetes, it's never simple, is it? 🙄
