[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2142545, member: 68789"] Hi [USER=512126]@RuWo[/USER], I usually need to counteract the DP or Footonthefloor when I wake up, unless I’ve needed to bolus for a nighttime high in the four hours before waking. The early hours bolus seems to even out the extra required in the morning. At the same time as giving the fotf dose, I pre-bolus for breakfast. I measure and count when I let the cat out. I eat breakfast when my libre shows that blood glucose is descending, and I have a higher insulin to carb morning ratio than the evening one. Like you, breakfast is often toast, with marmite and sometimes peanut butter. Variations are dependant on what’s in the fridge, fruit bowl, cupboard: apple and cheese with ryvita etc (and marmite, yes I’m a ‘lover’, fruit with yoghurt and a small amount of raw porridge oats. I find that pre-bolusing is needed at lunch, too, in fact for all meals. It doesn’t always go smoothly: after all, trying to box T1 into the framework of the tools we have available is like trying to put the Cosmos into a kaleidoscope! [/QUOTE]
