Insulin Stacking

@daisymae

So I will just manually bolus for the milk and not use my pump’s Wizard function. So if I wake up at 2am at 35 bg, I will have learned a new lesson

I think boluses for correction and for food are a bit different in how they respond. In one case you can still have food in the background pushing BG up, and sometimes in the case of corrections, the food can be gone, so there is nothing still pushing BG up, you only have the insulin pushing BG down.

Anyway, hope you don’t crash down to 35 tonight!

BTW, warm milk with a bit of vanilla and sugar is a good fix for a low. But generally that’s better in the winter.

warm milk with vanilla ice cream is perfectly acceptable
