[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2390799, member: 465882"] Hi Katie, ask as many questions as you want. For me I need to bolus atleast 20 minutes before breakfast, lunch & dinner 10/15 minutes is normally enough. On spikes, it can vary between what foods im eating. If for instances I’m having 200g of chicken with 200g of white rice I’ll stay pretty much perfectly straight. Porridge/oats can sometimes see a small spike but nothing major. I’m massively strict with my diet & I eat the same meals for 7 days, then on a Sunday I plan for the next week. So basically I’ll know exactly how many carbs I need to bolus for with each meal without needing to work it out. All my foods are weighed out to the exact gram as well that way I can be perfect with carb counting. This isn’t particularly anything to do with my diabetes it’s because I go to the gym 6 days a week following a bodybuilders lifestyle. A typical day for me would be something like 50g of oats with 25g peanut butter + 1 scoop of protein or 3 eggs scrambled with 2 crumpets. 200g of chicken with 200g of rice & 50g stir fry mix 200g mince/salmon with 200g white potato & 50g green beans. Pre workout snack would be a blueberry muffin or a Rice Krispies squares bar. post workout something like a grenade carb killa protein bar, 50g of Rice Krispies or if I’m trying to cut down on the calories that week then just a tin of flavoured tuna. I’ll also have 3 protein shakes throughout the day, one mid morning the second after the gym & the 3rd before bed. Usually I’ll just mix up the protein sources week to week, could swap a few carb sources sweet potatoes instead of white potato etc. It’s plain & boring but it’s what works for me, keeps me pretty full and I can keep good control.
