[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1033018, member: 160898"] Until I joined this forum, I didn't even know what "bolus" meant because I was only prescribed a (basal) dose of insulin (Levemir). I managed reasonably well for a year, but it's hard work I.e. I have to keep tight control of my carbs (same number of carbs for each meal and no snacks) and can't eat what I want, when I want. This has led to arguments with my DSN (based at my GP practice) particularly as this tight control has added to substantial weight loss. A recent hospital stay has added a basic bolus routine to my control, as advised by the hospital diabetes' specialists, but I've yet to discuss this with my DSN. I can see bolusing giving me much greater flexibility over what I can eat and the chance to gain healthy weight. (Before anyone says, I can't LCHF for medical reasons.) [/QUOTE]
