It's often a matter of timing.We want the bolus insulin to start working at exactly the same time that the food we've eaten is being broken down in our systems. Easy it isn't. Different foods digest at vastly different rates. Insulin absorption can vary hugely especially with mdi. Experience and the knowledge you gain as time goes by will help overcome a lot of these challenges.Pre bolusing is something a lot of diabetics do, but it takes experience/ confidence. Something to talk to your DN about.11+ isn't as bad as you may feel it is. Okay we would like it to be better BUT it ain't bad, especially taking into account you're new to all this. Be careful not to just take the libre information in the moment. You need to take the information and look for patterns over a period of time, days and weeks.</blockquote>
