Message: <blockquote data-quote="LooperCat" data-source="post: 1753090" data-attributes="member: 468055">I’ve found it next to impossible to get the timings right with pre-bolusing for carbs - or I find myself not wanting to eat all the food I’ve already injected for, and either forcing it down or going hypo. Waiting after a jab has started working to eat means I often can’t eat at the same time as the rest of my family, it seems to be really variable with me as to how long it takes the Novorapid to work. Mealtimes are really important to us, eating together is crucial. We eat different foods anyway, because I don’t eat meat and dairy and they do, so that’s not an issue. I’ve found it simpler just to bin the carbs, to be honest. It fits in better with my family and work life, and my sugars are much more stable. I’m seriously impressed that you can control it all so well [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] (mot sarcasm, I really am!) but I don’t have that level of skill, or maybe even the right physiology. Timings and doses notwithstanding, I do actually feel better without them, no postprandial carb comas (I’d be half asleep for quite a while after food) have given me back a couple of hours in my day...</blockquote>
