Message: <blockquote data-quote="Finnlee" data-source="post: 2595971" data-attributes="member: 557648">Your pre-bolus time may vary depending on the insulin, your starting level and the meal.For breakfast, I found I needed a long pre-bolus, even with with Lyumjev. It could be 45 minutes to an hour depending on my starting level.For lunch I find I can generally bolus just before I start eating.For dinner, I've had periods where I've needed to *post*-bolus. A pre-bolus will sometimes send me low mid-meal when the insulin hits, then high after I treat the low and the food starts to hit. I found bolusing 20 minutes after I start eating works for me in those periods, but I gradually worked my way there, 5 minutes at a time.Rules like 15 minute pre-bolusing are good places to start, but you need to find what works for you and your diabetes. Start somewhere and make small, cautious changes until you find that sweet spot.</blockquote>
