[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 614292, member: 27914"] Sally a combo bolus is when you stagger the insulin for food across a set period instead of giving it all upfront. So for example for 40g carbs I would normally give say 5 units upfront before eating. With a combo I would give a set % upfront and the rest over a longer period such as 2 hours. I use a combo bolus for things like pizza. Have you got the book pumping insulin by John Walsh? It explains it a lot better in there and tips on how/when to use them. [/QUOTE]
