Combo bolus question - when to test

[Nancy in VA]

We are starting to do a combo bolus every day for breakfast. We have two different ways we are going to do it - one if we know how many carbs she'll eat and one if we don't.

Today we did a combo bolus 70/30 over 2 hours about 15 minutes before she started eating. It was for the full amount we expected her to eat.

It took her about 20 minutes to eat after she started, so she finished eating about 30 minutes after the bolus was started.

When should I test to see the readings? In relation to when she got the bolus or when she finished eating? How frequently? I just don't know which readings are "valid" vs "too early" to really know.

I would check two hours after the dose.. I don't know if this is the right way of doing it.. but its the way I've been doing it:) LOL

Same here, I always check two hours in. Especially if I've combo'd a pasta dish. For some reason, Abby always goes low after pasta.
