[QUOTE="Finnlee, post: 2588823, member: 557648"] I increase by 30% for the few days just before my period, then need to decrease by about 30% for a few days before I ovulate (I call it my 'magic week' because I feel like I can eat anything and inject the bare minimum insulin). I don't take much basal, so I find it easier to adjust my bolus. I usually have one dinner just before my period where I need 50% extra insulin (then my period starts the next day), and one dinner where I need 50% less insulin (then I ovulate a few days later). Because I know those curve balls are coming, I plan my meals so I can have more or less food if I need it without feeling uncomfortably full or hungry. Every person, and every cycle, is different. What works for you this cycle might not work next cycle, but being aware of your insulin sensitivity or resistance definitely helps. [/QUOTE]
