[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2392354, member: 527103"] Before tinkering with bolus timings and dose, I always start with a basal test to ch3ck that I am not trying to deal with incorrect basal by topping up or delaying with bolus. The other thing to consider is what you are eating. Fat delays the absorption of carbs so fatty meals may need a later bolus. If you are bolusing for protein in a very low/no carb meal, protein to glucose conversion is later so will need a later dose. Many people find the best thing is to split bolus. Have one dose before eating and another afterward. I do this for fattier meals such as curry and pizza. [/QUOTE]
