Green Smoothie Insulin

[digihat]

Good Morning Everyone

I was wondering how smoothies work with insulin?. My assumption is that I would tally the carbs up for the Ingredients such as milk veg seeds etc and use my pre bolus time of around 20/25 minutes then drink the smoothie as I would with food normally?

Probably overthinking it as usual just trying to help increase my intake of green veg not a big fan of eating them

Thanks

Tom 🙂

Carb content calculation is the same regardless of how the food (or drink) is prepared. I am not a smoothie drinker but would happily sup something similar if it was heated up and called "soup" (call me fickle). I would calculate the carbs based on the individual ingredients in the soup.
The only thing you may want to keep an eye on is pre-bolus time. As the food has been broken down it may be digested quicker so you may need to adjust the pre-bolus time. Try it first though. If you are planning on a daily smoothie, you have plenty of opportunity to experiment with timings.
