[QUOTE="CoolUserName, post: 2396635, member: 542544"] Yes, we've noticed that eating fats with carbs slows things down and that white rice is the devils work (even without diabetes in my opinion as I prefer brown). The maximum time he's tried pre-bolusing is 20-25 minutes before a meal but by doing that typically his blood sugar will drop as he is eating before picking up a bit to about 6 mmols so I think if he left it any longer he'd be on the floor. I was thinking about raising his bolus ratio so he has less insulin at each meal. The trouble is that his insulin requirements seem to change on week basis but these hypos have really got me worried.
