Those free snacks from the red cross....

Today I donated blood. Second time I've done it. The problem is, they always want you to carb up. They were out of water afterward, so they told me to have juice. I also had a donut. I don't know whether I'm suppose to bolus for this stuff or not. Isn't the point to replace the glucose you lose when donating? I bolused for half, and was over 200 next time I tested. So I guess I do need to bolus for it...?
