How to count on rations with liquid

Hello good,

It is usually quite difficult for me to calculate the rations in the noodles with broth, or for example the lentils my grandmother does (it puts all kinds of vegetables and that is very good, but I do not know how to count the rations).

And then for not adjusting the dose well, it gives me a downturn.

How do you do it, any advice?

Thanks in advance.:)

You have to use the test and error method:

It begins assuming that the liquid contains 50% HC;If 2..3 hours later hypo is produced (run and assume 25% for the next) or hyper (run it and assume 75% for the next one).Repeat these steps until hypos or hypers occur (division by 2 in the HC).

Yes, try and point the pre and post controls.And you know the equivalences.
Pasta and legumes are usually equivalent and weigh dry., Liquid almost does not influence.

I now try to avoid such meals if I can, although I love stews.But sometimes it is not possible.
As I have been with DM1 for a short time I adjust and error.I always try to put a little less insulin from which I think, to avoid hypos and at two or three hours I see that the sensor tells me.And then I correct myself.But I prefer to correct myself than to have a hypo, for example, on the street.Surely you have suffered it.It has only happened to me once in a strong plan and it was not a pleasant experience.So I prefer to "go short of insulin" when I take stews or meals in which it is difficult to calculate the CH and then correct if necessary.

All the best

I have already controlled it quite well.
I wear one more unit and voila.If at 3 hours I am above 180mg/dl, I correct and point.
Legumes are slow absorption HC, so they do not produce peak but take about 3 hours to metabolize.

If the deep dish is large, calculate about 30-40GHC because in addition to vegetables, they are cooked with oil, and there are people who put chorizo, bacon, black pudding .... that is about 4 saces.
If it is a menu restaurant dish of the day, (the typical targets of diameter 22cm approx.), It is between 15-20g of HC, only 2 stuffs fit.

There are slides where it makes you what fits in each HC sauce according to the type of product.In my body, each saucepan is more or less 1 ud/insulin.

Mind yourself before eating, point how many staves you eat, measure at 2.5 hours and you will know for the next one.
