[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1433476, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=324327]@Julian_Hands[/USER] - I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your pump. On the food absorption, whilst those graphs are helpful, it's always worthwhile doing a few experiments on yourself. For example, the late climb that you experienced with the Chilli and Rice is more likely due to the fat and protein combination delaying the rice, rather than the rice itself (for me Brown Rice and White Rice have very little difference in terms of Glycaemic Load - both cause a fairly sharp rise - but we are all different). It's good to hear that you are experimenting with the various bolus types - it's amazing how few people use them. here was feedback in the recently published REPOSE study that suggests that around 80% of pump users never use the advanced bolus functions. I tried the TAG detailed approach, but found that in most cases the time it took to go through all the calculations was a royal pain, so reverted to a more basic "assume that I have an insulin:protein ratio of about half my insulin:carb ratio" approach, and included that for the extended bolus, i.e., with an IC ratio of 1u:10g, I have an I:P ratio of 1u:20g. That works well for me and is far more simple to use. I know of others who use a third as their benchmark. It takes a bit of experimentation. Keep on keeping on! [/QUOTE]
