[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1011003, member: 240838"] I pretty much eat the same macro at each meal at each time of day (B, L, D) and this way I found my bolus for each meal. I cannot eat P at BF without spiking hence the guacamole. For dinner I can eat more veggies and P than at L and bolus the same. I take 1 unit per meal but different meals act different at different times of day. So no P BF, 2 oz lunch and 3 dinner. Then the veggie portion gets larger at dinner. I found keeping P, carbs and fat basically the same consistently every day keeps me the most steady without highs and lows. So I pretty much know where I am going to go. So maybe if you try to eat basically the same macros at each meal daily you will find a bolus that is consistent. I find it easier than counting everything. Of course the type of carbs you eat (pasta, rice, donuts etc) may make a difference too. Of course I vary my P F and V but eat about the same ratios for each meal Just a thought [/QUOTE]
