[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2060167, member: 374531"] Hi, [USER=505154]@Mad76[/USER] , totally agree with what [USER=503481]@MeiChanski[/USER] and [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] are saying. T1 and T2 are entirely different medical conditions. Even though T2s are mainly thoroughly decent folks (there are some extremists!), their take on it is different, because of the different biology, so it's safest to ignore T2 input as it can be deeply misleading for newly dx'd T1s, to the point that many have, needlessly, become terrified of eating fruit. In these early days, your bounce to 11 isn't that big a deal, because you came back to a decent number, which shows your bolus amount was right. That idea of pre-bolusing is something you'll learn as time goes by, matching the time pattern of insulin to absorption rates of food, an incredibly useful technique, but don't run before you can walk. Here's an example of it from my cgm. 13u 20 mins before a 90g meal. Going by the numbers, I think it was some gyoza, egg noodles chow mein, and either an oat biscuit or a tub of raspberries. If I'd taken the insulin at the same time as the meal, I'd have been sky high, above 10, but that 20 mins pre-bolus to let the insulin get to work meant that levels barely shifted.
