August is about making your pre-bolus habit survive the real world, and we start with the hardest place to do it: restaurants and delivery, where you don't control the clock. Neil's move is simple, wait for proof of life. Dose when you can actually see the food heading your way, not a second sooner.\nAnd here's why it matters, with real numbers. Researchers found that 27% of meals get a bolus that's either late or skipped, and eating out is one of the biggest reasons, because you can't time what you can't predict. A 2024 study found that later dosing meant lower time in range all evening. So \"I'll bolus whenever the food shows up\" isn't harmless, it's a measurable hit to your numbers.\nIn this episode:\nThe one rule for pre-bolusing when you don't control the clockWhy 27% of meals get a late or missed bolus (ADA data)How eating out quietly tanks your time in rangeThe \"wait until you see the food\" strategy for restaurants and deliveryThis Week's Challenge: One restaurant or takeout meal.
