Then there’s after-the-fact bolusing, when I follow up some food with a “chaser” of insulin, as if that will possibly catch up with the glucose peak.
We could remake “Snacks on a Plane.” The hero PWD thwarts bad-guy efforts to contaminate packets of peanuts and withhold diet soda from those who want no carbs and regular soda from those having lows …
I am the worst cheater in the history of cheaters. I hate going low so much that I actually bolus less than what I’m eating at meals, and often don’t bolus snacks.
Bah. Who needs feet.
(((running from screaming endocrinologists))) AHHHHHHHCK!
Depending on my activity level I don’t always bolus for everything either. I drink gatorade on bike rides and that’s easily 20g of sugar that doesn’t get covered. On longer (hour+) rides I’ll have some gel too (Gu, Clif Shots, etc) and I don’t cover it… I rarely run high from it either.
For me, since I’m not pumping now, it’s easier than running high the rest of the day to compensate for the times I’m active… instead I just up my carb intake
There was a time when I either ate and forgot to bolus or ate and just blind bolused (just threw on a few units haphazardly). We’ll call that time “college.”
I don’t do that anymore. blush I’m a good girl now.
