If you ate a fat or protein heavy meal, your body won't process the carbs as fast. By the time you're getting to your dessert the insulin is slowly reaching its peak, between 45-90 minutes in. Injecting more can mean your body has more insulin than there is glucose in your blood. I've gone low once or twice due to this when deciding to have some dessert after dinner.I recommend testing to see where your levels are at after dinner and before dessert. If you're already rising bolus for your dessert as normal. If you're actually dropping a bit take only half your bolus, then check again 1 and 2 hours in and adjust where needed.</blockquote>
