[QUOTE="therower, post: 1741355, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=140811]@urbanracer[/USER] . The idea of bolusing for me is to counteract the carb rise from the apple and pnb. What actually helps with the increased blood levels during the night is the apple and pnb not the bolus. Providing your basal level is correct then for me the trick is stopping the liver providing glucose I don't need at that time of night. Apple is not overly carby and the pnb really slows down the digestion process, so in theory I get the carbs a good few hours after going bed. It then seems that my body/ liver has no need to provide glucose on account it's already there. Hope this makes sense and I'm not sure there's any science to it. It's one of those hit or miss things that makes diabetes so **** interesting :banghead::banghead::banghead: [/QUOTE]
