Message: <blockquote data-quote="azure" data-source="post: 1189486" data-attributes="member: 39639">Hi again : ) By bolusing further in advance, I meant having your bolus injection longer in advance of your meal to help control the spike. It can make a big difference. As an example, if I bolus Humalog just before breakfast, I can spike up to 11. However, if I bolus 30 mins before breakfast (exactly the same breakfast) my two hour blood test result is around 6. If you choose to try this, move your bolus gradually - say, five minutes earlier to start with - and then see how it goes. Many people find bolusing 15-20 mins in advance of food helps stop the spike. Exoeriment carefully and see what works for you. I find I need my bolus more in advance for breakfast as that's when I spike most. Other meals on Humalog I inject 10-15 mins in advance.Hope that helps : )</blockquote>
