    How to bolus for uce-cream

    Yes I was thinking of doing this actually, keep an eye on my sugars and when I see it start to rise, I'll just bolus then.

    Hi Pipp, I clicked your link at @lovinglife but it didn't take me to any info about explaining the PIP entitlement in any detail. Could you please point me in the right direction of where I should be looking. I've recently received a claim form for PIP and would like some useful info. It's not...
