[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1675387, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=343746]@Liftupjoe[/USER] I don’t differentiate between fast or slow carbs, carbs are carbs and so I inject before eating any carbs, personally I start my bolus if I can 20 mins beforehand so I can time the action of the insulin to meet the release of the carbs and avoid a spike, In regards to swimming I try and start with bg levels of 6+mmol/l and either have a small 10g snack before I swim or reduce the bolus injection prior to swimming, there are no hard fast rules as we are all different so what works for me may not for you and I have worked out our local pool is quite cool so my body is working harder to maintain core temp, I always keep glucose and meter pool side though so I can access quickly if I need to. If you have doubts then just do a test after 30 mins to see how your bg is responding. [/QUOTE]
