Morning guys,

What do you do for eating pizza? Be interested to know. I’m on novo slow and I’m still not sure about splitting doses. Tried it before and insulin seemed to get lost @gll

Take away pizza from dominos or chip shop?

Thanks

My simple answer is... I don't eat it.
 
I sometimes have the teeniest tiniest sliver of Ian's when he gets one, just to try it, but I really don't crave that carb rich food anymore and certainly not worth the ridiculous amounts of insulin it needs in my opinion or the BG turmoil.

That is just my personal decision though.
 
My kid eats it and we manage but he’s fairly tolerant of highs so doesn’t feel rough if he goes up. We do split the bolus and he gets only 3 slices of a big dominos usually.

Great thanks. Do you know the split? Roughly about 2 hours after first dose?

We tend to split 50:50 over an hour but that’s probably a bit fast even for him so play around.

I’m still craving plenty carbs barbs
 
Log it all on libre and set alarms (as in time) and scan often.
You could check at the 1 hour mark and if you are skyrocketing, put in the other 50% then or hold out for a lil bit longer if things are steady or dipping.
its all for science remember 😉
(I do agree with sticking to a few slices vs a whole pizza - I know - sadface)

Dominoes is on nutracheck app or https://corporate.dominos.co.uk/allergens-nutritional for carbs and I would get from there vs local pizza shop just so you are accurate for doing sciencey stuff 🙂
