What I'd do on mdi, which is what I assume you do, would be to cut way down on the initial carbs, bolus early, and bolus some extra. Then I'd have a small snack mid-morning to cover the impending low. You need to work it all out for yourself though!
Of course this assumes we have similar patterns. |
Do you make up for the "loss" in carbs later in the day? I could split my breakfast in two but that causes other problems, since mornings are usually busy. Would you not see a bg drop before you start eating when doing your bolus 30mins early? I seriously considering doing my bolus early, I don't fancy like risking a super bolus since I might forget to snack. Currently I do not bolus before breakfast, I have considered swapping items out for lower GI but evidently it’s not going to make much of a different.
I took an example day:
Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
20g/81g/74g (carbs) = 177g of carbs
12%/46%/42%
