| There was some saying I saw a while back that was "smaller numbers, smaller risk", when it comes to insulin. I think that's really true... and I think it's a useful saying with this question:
Lower carb is good. If you are used to eating whole lots of carbs, try keeping it under control each day, eg 0g or 15g or 25g at a meal/snack, rather than 30 - 70g. (You can always take the "real" low carb option, too).
Breaking up your energy intake and having lots of boluses can be really helpful to control (for me, and probably quite a few others) if the doses are a little wrong the risk is smaller, the impact on your BG is smaller, the better off you are.
The time NOT to bolus many times through the day IMHO, is those times/days/weeks when you are tweaking. IE, really trying to get your I:C or sensitivity correct, or keeping an eye on your basal (or basal testing). No useful information can really be got for these two if you keep breaking the insulin action up with new carbs/boluses. So if your ratios etc need work and you want more meaningful data with you BG tests, remember to simplify the picture again and cut down the snacking (or stick to no carb snacks!)
