I will probably be having chicken chow mein - I usually weigh out what I think I can manage to eat for my first portion then go back for my next portion and weigh that out then take my humalog in one dose straight after eating.

Tonight I'm thinking of having my first dose of humalog before eating my first portion then have the second dose straight after eating my second portion.

What does anybody think?

Thanks for asking and here's how it worked out
20:48 3.9 hypo. Before tea. Reason unknown. Had 3x dextrose tablets. No hypo awareness.
21:07 4.4 below target. Before tea. Had 1x dextrose.
21:24 7.8 within target. Before tea. 310g weight. 45g carbs. 4.5 units humalog for food. First portion of chicken chow mein.
21:59 didn't do another test. Bolused just for carbs. 263g weight. 38g carbs. 4.0 units humalog for food. Got into a bit of a mess here because I got full up so I re weighed the food I left which was 92g weight so I had 13g carbs which were injected for so I had a cheeky 2 finger kit kat.
22:42 6.8 within target.
23:59 6.2 within target.
01:50 3.6 hypo. Bedtime. Reason unknown. Had 4x dextrose tablets.
02:10 4.2 below target. Bedtime. Had 2x dextrose tablets.
02:30 8.4 within target. Bedtime. Had 1x rich tea biscuit. 6g carbs. No humalog.
 
Well apart from those two dips below 4, that looks pretty impressive for a takeaway!
 
Did you wait from 20:48 to 21:24 whilst the takeaway got cold to eat? I’ve noticed you do this a few times, why not just eat?
