[QUOTE="StewM, post: 2396637, member: 538114"] There's actually a lot of ways of approaching this problem. One) Adding mandatory midmeal snacks which will help prevent late hypos. This is a carry-over from Mixed Insulin days. Two) Changing the food that's eaten at the meals to include more slow-acting carbs to help prevent those late drops. Three) Using Half Unit Insulin Pens to increase the preciseness of doses. Four) 15 minute Pre-Bolusing is a rough guide, rather than the optimal timing for taking your Insulin. You can use the Libre to gauge modest changes timing of Insulin. For instance, I wait at least twenty minutes before eating in the morning, whilst I wait 0 minutes to eat my lunch. Five) This list isn't even exhaustive, there are probably other methods which I'm not thinking of. [/QUOTE]
