| I'd say I'm 50/50 with giving it right before or giving it during the meal. I really need to get better at giving it always before but I won't "pre-bolus" at all. I see too much danger if something comes up and I don't eat, don't get to eat everything, or being a single male, burn it (hey, it happens) among many other reasons.
A pump is no faster than a shot. The only difference in speed can be found in what insulin you use. For fast acting there is Humalog, Novolog, and Apidra. Depending on your body, one may work faster than the other. I find for me, they all act the same.
