148. Explaining Combo vs Split vs Extended Boluses

About This Episode

If you’re still giving all your insulin upfront, all at once and finding that your bgls aren't always the best after certain foods.. this could be why! We're breaking down the different types of boluses: standard, extended (square wave), and combo (dual wave or split) boluses, and why knowing how to use them can completely change the way your blood sugars respond. I explain what each bolus type does, when to use them, and why timing and matching your insulin to your food is just as important as the dose itself.
