Mastering Diabetes at the Diabetes Research Institute, Day 2

Gina, way to go, you're doing great and it's helping us around the world to learn some of what you're learning.  I used to forget bolus at breakfast when I was new to the pump.  Set an alarm on my pump to help remember for weekday breakfasts!  Now I usually don't have a problem unless I'm low and delaying a meal bolus, then sometims I forget when b/s goes back in normal range.  I've also learned that to control a post-breakfast spike in b/s, I bolus earlier before the meal.  If I am high or normal and going up b4 breakfast, I bolus 20-30 minutes before eating.  Too much delay leads to a low, so have to be careful with this approach!  I tried quicker insulin, but it wasn't covered by my insurance (insurance only covers use Humulin or Humalog).
