You're rushed, half asleep, and half of us don't even eat it. So we don't start there. We start on the easy level: dinner. Neil makes the case that dinner is the cheat code for learning to pre-bolus.\nThree reasons: you see it coming (you've had all day to plan), you're usually home and control the clock (which kills the \"I dosed and the food never came\" fear), and you've got time while it cooks. Then the simple how: check your number and arrow, dose about 10 to 15 minutes before you eat, watch the arrow, and eat, with fast carbs on the table as backup. Check, dose early, watch, eat.\nIn this episode:\nWhy dinner is the smartest meal to start pre-bolusingThe four-step dinner pre-bolus routine, kept simpleHow being home removes the biggest pre-bolus fearWhat to compare against your day-one \"before\" numberThis Week's Challenge: This is the week. Pre-bolus your dinner. Check, dose 10 to 15 minutes early, watch the arrow, eat, net on the table. Then compare your two-hour number to where you used to land.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
