Fellow T1 here--when you're in that situation you shouldn't sit while your bolus barely keeps up with fast carbs, you should do something physically active to help get your numbers down more quickly. I share your wish in your last paragraph very much!

  Yes, it's tough (for the first world.) I've done walking meetings and during COVID some conference calls on the go, but if I ate a bunch of pasta for lunch and didn't take my insulin first, and have typing to do...

It's a nice thing to say and all, but not everyone with T1D is abled-bodied. There are other people with T1D who also have to work in an office right after their mealtime so it's also a form of classism. You are also pointing out something that is extremely obvious to people with T1D. You could try to be more thoughtful with your posts and actually post something substantive, useful, and original instead. Also, your post below about "first world problems" is offensive. First world problems do not exist and it is unbelievably offensive to people suffering in developing countries, like in many places in Africa. Trust me, I know, as I have immediate family who recently lived in Africa on assignment in one of the most corrupt countries in the world for a couple of years. You would not believe how insensitive "first world problems" actually is. I suggest you cut it out of your language, now. Same goes with first world/third world. You need to use "developed countries" and "developing countries". Please be mindful of your language.
