Eat paella and control glucose

Any "trick" to eat paella without those climbs?

I punctu 8 Novorapid units before eating the paella, at the time I have it well 150 approx ... but later, when 1.5 h or 2 hours have passed ... bum!220 mg/dl!

PORFA TIPS.

Thank you

You will have to put two fast doses.

With rice you have to put insulin on demand because it takes many hours to metabolize.Rapid insulin does not cover the 6-8 hours that it takes to process the rice.
It is a food for special occasions for the insulin effort it requires.
The last time I ate rice I insulin every 2 hours from 3 in the afternoon until 11. I didn't have dinner.

I some paella like on Sundays.
I punctu my unds.corresponding with respect to the rations you are going to eat.
And at 2h I monitor me.If I go a little, I justify myself more ... because I know that "in crescendo" goes.And then again at 2h and if necessary, then another adjustment or go for a walk ...

@Sarainueva thing is that you use an extra bolus of insulin from 2 hours as @regina said, I at least what I did before the pump, not only with the paella, if not with other "powerful" meals.

I mean clicking 2 unid of fast after 2 hours right?

Two doses at 2 hours?

No no!!!

One before eating, as you normally do, then you look at how you are at 2 hours and calculate a correction bolus.

It is very important that it calculates well, better to fall short than to pass by, in the forum there are several issues that explain, I look for them and I pass it to you @sarainueva

It will depend on your sensitivity.If these to 280 can be 3 or 4 units

@Sarainueva: Before making a correction you have to know how much an insulin unit lowers you.If you put insulin without taking into account this factor you can get a good disgust.

In my case, I forgive the bun from the coscorrón.What works for me, although I know that it is a sacrilege and mortal sin, if you eat at home is: I put my ration in the fridge, the next day I take it out, he lime it and how.For glycemic purposes, it is like a normal dish of any other not high carbohydrates.It is not the same, or from afar, than to eat a good newly made paella, Peeeeeero .... it is what there is.

Totally agree.I eat the rice of the day before with the normal insulin and it is perfect, I have no second climb or to correct.And he knows me glory ... (For me mortal sin is not being able to eat rice for lack of control, as I have been doing years).

@Sarainueva here I leave the issues I said previously, explain how to make the calculations for corrections.

For rice after the 2 hours to finish eating, another dose of 6-8 units must be clickand fast insulin lasts its maximum effect 2 h can stop the first onslaught of the rice but the second onslaught if we do not put more insulin the rice throws its second attack and hits you a rush of the ostia
