How strange - I read it before I posted it here, now it needs a login! Perhaps it's because I picked it up through Twitter. It doesn't give details of how to do the calculation, just that it involves carbs, fat and protein values to work out bolus.

I read this on another forum, and I thought it was interesting. It also mentioned that there was actually an increase in post-meal hypoglycemia however, so I think there still needs to be some adjusting. I can't imagine having to account for fat and protein as well in my meals, though it says the kids picked the calculations up quickly!
