In episode 106 of Think Like a Pancreas—The Podcast, Jennifer Smith, RD, CDCES, sits down with author Gary Scheiner to unpack the key to a successful bolus.
Together, they break down the six key factors discussed in Chapter 7 of Think Like a Pancreas that go into every dosing decision. Learn how insulin-to-carb ratio, correction dose, glucose trend and direction, insulin on board, physical activity, and timing all work together to help create a well-timed bolus. Together, these factors form a practical, real-world approach to the math—and the mindset—behind dosing insulin well.
