If pre-bolusing were a video game, breakfast would be the level everybody rage-quits on. 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.

Three 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.

In this episode:

• Why dinner is the smartest meal to start pre-bolusing
• The four-step dinner pre-bolus routine, kept simple
• How being home removes the biggest pre-bolus fear
• What to compare against your day-one "before" number

This 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.
