[QUOTE="iHs, post: 365344, member: 8799"] Hi It is true to say that there are some diabetics who like to graze and eat a snack mid morning and mid afternoon and those who only want to eat just 3 meals per day. Bolus insulins should be injected before eating a main meal and ideally a small snack could be eaten 2-3hrs later if bg levels have fallen below 6mmol. If bg levels are at 8-10mmol then eating a snack would require another bolus to deal with the carb or if possible going for a walk and not injecting the bolus would enable bg levels to not rise. It is entirely up to you to decide what you want to do. If you test your bg levels often, you will be able to adjust your bolus insulin accordingly. Do you know about carb counting and adjusting bolus insulin using a ratio yet? If not, using a ratio will help you achieve decent bg levels. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
