What do you do if your bsugar raises above your target, do you square bolus to bring them down or regular bolus to bring them down? |
Just my two cents here...
I regular bolus everything. So, if my BG is above target, I just give a regular bolus. The only time that I've done a square bolus is when eating something that will take a while to digest. For eg., pizza has alot of fat in it and therefore slow to digest - so, if I regular bolus, I go low by the end of the meal then go high several hours later. So, a square wave will release the insulin slower and makes it less likely to go low by the end of the meal. Another example of where I might use a square wave is a a dinner party that is going to last a few hours.
