I find that 30-40 minutes pre-bolus works well. If I start off at 85 then I'll likely not peak at more than 100 if I bolus correctly. Seems to vary for everyone. I also find I have to pre-bolus further in advance the earlier it is in the day. Good luck!
Hi,
I've been a POD user for aobut 7 years, I was always told to test and bolus 15 minutes prior to eating. When I'm in a restaurant I normally bolus when I order. I think I would discuss most of your questions with your doctor. Good luck, Carolyn

i take half the bolus before & the rest later
