With Christmas fast approaching does anyone have any tips for being able to still enjoy a nice lunch and overindulge a little bit for this one day of the year? I was diagnosed less than a week ago so I'm still working out my correct basal/bosul dosages but I'm hoping I'll be able to enjoy a normal-ish lunch even though I'll definitely be much more restrained than usual!
I assume it's best to prepare by having a small/carb-free breakfast and then to give a much bigger dose of bolus prior to the meal. Apart from that, some exercise afterwards would be a good idea? I've no idea how I'll work out what units of bolus to give. I'm tending to give 1 unit for each 10g of carbs at the moment and it's roughly working out. My average levels are still quite high (like 8-12) as I'm only very gradually increasing my basal dosage as I'm worried of having a hypo.
