I most often do my bolus 10-15 mins before the meal except for restaurants. Since I have been kept waiting far longer than expected for food to arrive, I wait until its on the table so I don't go low before it comes & spoil the meal with a glucose tab or 3.

OTOH, I have waited and then forgotten to bolus at all until those high feelings hit. At that point I check my bolus history, curse and pump extra. Tough balancing act this D.
