[QUOTE="smidge, post: 718576, member: 29301"] Lucy, Bill, the extra injections for food are a bit of a pain, but nowhere near as bad as you might think initially. At first, you're there with your scales and your book with the carb values of everything in - it used to take me 15 minutes to work out what to jab for what I was eating and I used to think 'I can't do this for the rest of my life!' but after a few months you just know the carb values of the things you eat the most and you know what certain foods and volume of foods do to your BG so it all becomes easier. In the end, it's better to do the extra jabs than keep spiking high every time you eat. Did either of you consider looking at using the insulin Elaine is using or did you just go straight for adding the bolus to the basal? Smidge [/QUOTE]
