I think it depends on the individual (you *knew* we'd say that!). It's for anything that is slow to digest, e.g. Pasta, brown rice, meals high in fat. My son would usually bolus 60:40 for pasta. For fish and chips, he boluses for all the carbs 100% up front, and in addition sets an increased basal rate for the next five hours to counter a rise in BG from the fat metabolising.
