My really good friend told me, that if I have overdid a low, while I am recovering if you catch it before it hits 100 your bg's that is then bolus like this, say you probably needed 15-30 carbs for the low right but you know you so over did, it....So lets say I ate about 60, So I would bolus for atleast 30 of those carbs....hey it has worked for me on a couple of occasions.....especially when I was at the lake with the kids with no cell phone bg was dropping and I was 50 and still drinking coke, I ended up drinking the whole can, when I hit 100 bolused for 20 carbs of the can.....I told the children get in the van we are going home, since i live 5 minutes away from the lake entrance, and did ok, yea I was 140ish for dinner that night but so much better then what i would of been LOL.......I was so pannicked being alone and it was the first low on the pump that didn't shoot right back up, when I drank half the can....scarey scarey....but I knew when I was around 100 I was ok, bolused ran home so I would be in a safe enviornment LOL....Don't worry we were gonna go home in about an hour anyway, we were already their for 5 hrs so I didn't really mess up their day LOL.....
