[QUOTE="azure, post: 1089255, member: 39639"] I snack and usually eat carby snacks, but generally try to keep them 25g or less unless I'm out and have a piece of cake or similar. I bolus for them. I'd never leave my bolus until the next meal. In my opinion - and my opinion only YMMV - that's madness. Why would I want to eat, say, a couple of digestives and then have my blood sugar unnecessarily high until the next meal? I calculate the carbs and take an appropriate bolus before I eat it, taking into account my current BS and if I'm going to be exercising, etc I've always snacked and have never found that they adversely affect my control. But I am confident in counting carbs and adjusting my insulin. If you're not, then don't do it without speaking to your DSN and getting some advice and some experience. My DSN said stacking only really mattered for correction doses. It seems DAFNE says different. From experience, I'd go with my DSN's opinion. [/QUOTE]
