Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2674025" data-attributes="member: 556474">I snack, lots, I blame it on having had snacks for the majority of my life while on old-school insulins. That or I'm just hungry.I know I will want a snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon, so I tend to take a bit more insulin for my breakfast/lunch and then have a biscuit or 4 with a cup of coffee or two. If I've not done extra bolus I'll quite happily stack as I can see how much insulin I have on board with Xdrip+ (there are other apps available.)In the evening I also tend to snack sometimes, but usually on nuts as I'd prefer to not eat additional carbs too close to bed, so I can better judge overnight levels.Snacks are even better when exercising as then there is no bolus required (but you do need to exercise for ~30min after eating to ensure it's been digested and taken effect). I happily snack for hours almost continuously (once I'm past ~2h) while riding my bike <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
