148. Explaining Combo vs Split vs Extended Boluses
from Empowering Type 1 Diabetes: with T1D Nutritionist Andi Balog · host Andi Balog
About This EpisodeIf 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.Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast app or share this episode on socials to help me help others😊 Links and ResourcesBook a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise CoachingTHR1VE Online Recipe & Video Trainings Membership for Type1s and CarersGet The Better Bolusing Guide to bolus with confidence and regain food freedomWatch the Carb Counting Masterclass to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ www.ibdmedical.com.auInstagramGet your questions answered on future episodesDisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.
