bolus

recently i had been looking at IF (intermittent fasting) and came across a blog detailing some personal experiences and sharing advice. i asked some questions and she (blogger) replied that maybe i should test for my basal rate and ICR first before i head into IF. my doc hasn't taught me about...

Hey guys ! Since I have Contour Link connected to my pump (Specifically Paradigm 722 ) I never tried bolus wizard, because no matter if I use it with numbers automatically picked up from my glucometer, or put them manually, later on when I try to upload them to carelink it makes additional...

Hi all, I used to have my mornings sorted out to near-perfection. I suffer(ed) from DP, so used to take 2u to counteract that as soon as I woke up. Then I had my breakfast at a 1:8 ratio with my jab taken just before eating, which has always kept me pretty much flat until lunch time (I use...

Hi guys - wondering if you could please give your advise / thoughts on sudden chages to my bolus ratio at lunch. Currently on a pump with 2 basal profiles .. one for work and one for weekends where i need less basal dues to activity / stress levels etc but bolus has always been the same whatever...

Hi everyone! I'm going out for a family dinner tonight that we had to pre-order for. I've gone with a Margherita pizza, that's about 12 inches. I'm just really struggling to work out when I should take my bolus. Based on averages (I can't know for sure the carb count of the pizza), it's...

Hi guys! I've been put on a basal/bolus regime of Lantus and Apidra. I take 20 units of Lantus a day. I've found that bolusing for all three meals had me running really low/going into hypo between meals, so instead I have started just bolusing for my evening meal. So far, my numbers are all...

As the title suggests, how many units of insulin do you take each day? I seem to be taking different amounts of bolus insulin every day in the quest for perfect blood sugars. Also, sometimes my number is lower post meal than pre meal but still in the 4-7mmol range. So would this be considered...

Hi all, I'm using Diasend with my Libre to sync my data. When I sync, the insulin pie chart is blank on my phone screen and online it only logs my boluses. Is there anyway to fix it? Thanks, P

Okay so mid afternoon and near bedtime i tend to get kinda hungry and I'd love to have a snack of some kind, but a lot of stuff thats snack-worthy tends to be over 10g of carbs which would mean I'd have to give myself more insulin, right? Like if I wanted a cereal bar before bed or like have...

Evening all, I've been a T1 since 2008. Been on a pump the last few years and absolutely loving it (It certainly has worked wonders on my HBA1C results). However something I wanted to ask. My Novorapid seems to be less and less effective as time goes on, meaning I need more and more of the...
