I both measured AND weighed the pasta, to try to come up with what I expected was the actual amount she was eating. Pasta is confusing anyway, because the nutrition label doesn't always specify if the amounts given are cooked or uncooked. I knew going in it would be tricky, but I did my best to guestimate. I'm going to assume it was a combination of factors. 1. the pasta. 2. The Honeymoon and 3. The fresh insulin. Anyway, she seems okay, and is sleeping now. The last 3 BG checks have been in range.greenpalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270097172421228598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514872689606506863.post-1950436270146176362013-04-09T10:09:54.511-07:002013-04-09T10:09:54.511-07:00From experience, we NEVER weigh pasta. We measure ...From experience, we NEVER weigh pasta. We measure by volume since the weight may vary depending on how much water it retains after cooking. We had a very similar experience with spaghetti, shortly after diagnosis. Plus I tend to decrease her dose by about 10% to make up for the extra time pasta seems to take to digest. For us that means a correction dose a few hours later, but I would much rather have that than the monster low that we had.
