yes please and cellnovo
how do you do a multiwave bolus for pasta and rice? do you put the higher percentage first or the lower percentage first? Also is it really needed for rice and is it only used for pasta?
over how long would you do the 60/40?I use multi-wave for dishes like lasagna, spaghetti bolognese (where there's a combination of high-carb/high fat), for rice I just use a normal bolus unless the rice is part of a Chinese meal, for example a chicken curry.
I generally use a 60/40 split but it is trial & error to find which split best works for you, sorry I can't be more specific @IceLover

I've just recently started pumping and have been experimenting with the duel wave/Combi Bolus for bread. Whether it's white,brown or wholemeal I get rather large spikes about an hour or so after eating. The bread seems to start raising blood sugar after about 30 mins and keeps rising for about an hour. What seems to work for me is a 15 min pre bolus 85/15 split the 15% extended for 30 minutes so far this has curbed the spike to rising only 4 mmol. Hope this continues can't live without my beef sandwiches
Bread to me is the most precious thing in the world, I genuinely don't think I could survive without it It is however, as you've said - a disaster for spikes.it was for this reason I stopped eating bread unless I had no choice.

Although the MDI approach is entirely different, I've seen myself take a 45min pre-bolus to stay <7mmol/l for some amazing sandwiches!
@Postleneo, you may manage to reduce your spiking action by increasing the time between your initial bolus and starting your meal.
I rarely have meals where my pre-bolus isn't below 30 minutes.
