1. Use Dexcom
This is pretty self explanatory. Use Dexcom and use it effectively! Try to keep your blood sugars on the lower side, as you will always have food handy to eat!

2. Bolus at least 30-45 minutes in advance.
This kind of relates to the first time, but bolus early! And if you bolus too early and your blood sugar starts to dip, just grab a roll or drink some juice to make it go up! Because it is better to be a little low than high, as it will just be an excuse to eat more!

3. Be AGGRESSIVE!
Be aggressive with how you bolus. If you like to eat big meals like me, it may take a little time for your blood sugar to go back up, but it will go back up!
