Lately I’ve been forgetting to bolus for breakfast because I’m rushing to get online after breakfast. I usually do it in the middle of the meal though sometimes right before - how weird is that? I know, bad me, but my A1cs are consistently between 6 and 7, I can’t be that wrong, right?
I bolus one hour to ninety minutes following my meal, but I also use 120mcg of Symlin before each meal.
It is normal, 75-110 or so. If my bg is above normal, I will bolus just the correction amount before I eat.
Well no, I’m sorry, I don’t think I explained it right. I only bolus at mealtime if my blood glucose is above my normal range, and only enough to bring it to the normal range. I’m always waiting at least an hour after I eat to bolus for the meal.
If I time it right (and I usually do), the carbs from the meal start to hit, slowly (a lot slower than without Symlin), just as the insulin begins to work and my bg never leaves the normal range.
