I started out at 192. I did a correction bolus and a carb bolus. The carb bolus was for four slices of pizza. I used the square bolus over 3 hours, hoping that I wouldn't end up too high.

I ate my pizza slices, enjoying every bite. By the time I finished eating, I had about two hours left on my square bolus. That should be perfect, I thought.

An hour later, I was 87. I still had almost half the insulin to deliver, so I suspended the bolus and drank a juice. I planned to check my blood sugar again within the next two hours to watch for the peak, then bolus the remaining insulin.

Two hours later, I felt the high creeping up so I bolused for 25 carbs.

An hour later, I checked my blood sugar. 121. Perfect. I still had quite a bit of active insulin on board so I ate a small snack, left my basals, and went to bed.

But this morning, I woke up at 307. Dry mouth and that fuzzy feeling in my stomach.

Since I've gotten my pump, I have had more trouble with eating pizza and other "slow release" foods than ever before. I've tried dual wave boluses, square wave boluses, normal boluses, smaller boluses, larger boluses, and on and on.

Yet I can't seem to have success with my blood sugars coming out in goal. It frustrates me that some of these foods seem to crash me within two hours and others raise my blood sugar within minutes. I guess I'll just keep trying to make it work, but I definitely won't be eating pizza anytime soon.
