Hi Emma, it will vary person to person.

I normally take an immediate 50% then spread the rest over 2 hours (so with absorption lasts around 4 hrs or so). However if its a three or four course then I do a multi wave for each course as it arrives.

Hi, I usually spike after I've eaten pasta or rice. I set a temp basal about 2 hrs after food roughly 20% extra for a duration of 2 hours. I also use the dual bolus for some meals.
