[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 2508928, member: 49223"] Generally if its normal food for me then I'm standard 30% upfront and 70% over 75 mins, usually taken 20 mins before eating but time prior I adjust depending upon my BG at the time, if high then much earlier if low then much later or none at all. If I'm eating pasta or pizza then I normally extend the time for the 70% out to 90 mins, if its a curry then sometimes 120 mins. If I'm eating over long time then I don't extend but just top up on the way, if I'm caught out by meal time extending unexpectedly then I'll cancel the extended bolus, make a note of the undelivered amount then top up along the way also adding the undelivered. It is trial and error, I do my best to try and stay below 10 for meal peaks, but its not always possible. I would add do what fits your lifestyle best and try not to get it perfect as there is always something else in the background that having an impact on your BG's. [/QUOTE]
