[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1881546, member: 488171"] I take 20u of bolus with my large bowl of cereal (145g-odd of carbs, apparently 5-6 of the comically small suggested portions) if I'm going to be sitting around. 12u basal for the 12 hours ahead. So 6u bolus on top of 18u basal doesn't seem terribly extreme to me :-) I wouldn't necessarily go with my approach to breakfast, but just saying don't be too afraid to bump your bolus to match your food. Others will almost certainly be along to recommend more sensible approaches - eg porridge is often recommended (slow release carbs), or of course low-carb options. I suppose I could also mention dawn phenomenon, which will raise your sugars a bit in the morning anyway, so calculated doses might be a bit low. [/QUOTE]
