This may be a bit of a thick question but I'll ask anyway. If I bolus using my pump for my meal (together with inputting my bg etc), and then decide afterwards to have a dessert I obviously will have to bolus for that as well. My question is - do you just calc the carbs and bolus without inputting a further bg (as I would only have done a bg 15-20 mins beforehand)?
Wouldn't need to do anther test in that instance. If desert was an hour to 2 hour later then I would test, but, use slight less insulin recommended as it would be "stacked" with the previous dose. thing with having as pud is, and depending how sugary it is lol and you knew you was having one, I would inject if poss same time as meal to give it a head start as puds can be very high gi and hit our bloods quick. never know if an odd reading was from the meal or the pud, even if bolusing at the same time or apart.
Personally don't have puddings for that reason lol, but on special occasions I may sometimes.
depends what pump you use... My vibe is very hard to input carbs without a bg (read i haven't worked it out yet!) so i reuse my dinner bg. my pump works out how much insulin I've needed and sorts it all out
