Is this the case for the accu-check meter? As I’ve just read that it can advise on insulin dose without actually testing.. It’s all so confusing.. I also read that the g6 does have bolus advice tucked away in the settings? We’re at the DN on Friday I’ll ask the questions, thanks

Thank you for your help :)

So basically, g6 does reading then we manually add the carbs about to be eaten to the expert to get the I:c ratio - is that right?

Yes I knew that, as the g6 will be the CGM I was wondering how the i:c ratio and correction doses are logged if not using the expert meter - does that make sense? We’re almost only a year in so excuse me if I sound like a mad woman it’s still all so new and there are so many different devices...

I thought I saw an option on the expert meter that says “add data” I’ll double check.. so that was actually in relation to my original question - I am actually able to put all that info in to the g6 device? I thought it was just continuously for monitoring BG and warns on highs and lows. So...

Are you sure? I had a quick look too and there’s an option for “add data” which you can manually enter?

Not at all - recently diagnosed?

Not at all, then we’re you dx?

Are you manually entering your readings on to the expert meter to calculate I:c ratio before doing insulin?

Ahh right okay, I’ve got you, I didn’t know you still had to use the meter even with a CGM and pump. Thanks for your advice

It does thank you. I suppose it’s what works for each individual isn’t it, it’s my 12 year old son that is T1, he knows how to carb count but I do most of it for him because I don’t want him to burden his childhood too much - but at the same time he understands how important it is. I’ve heard...

My son is currently using the expert meter but hooping to get the g6, he won’t entertain a pump and is happy with injections. I’m just confused how the I:C ratio and correction doses etc will be calculated - I’m assuming you put your reading in to the expert meter manually??

Expensive self funded, I believe.. how do you calculate your I:C ratio or do correction doses, do you manually enter them on the expert meter still? I’m confused how I will get the info if just on the g6 and pens [emoji85]

Because we are looking to get the G6 this week and my son uses the pens... so currently he’s using the expert meter finger prick system & pens. The expert meter has all his I:C ratio, correction doses etc... I’m wondering, if we switch to the G6 how on earth does the calculations work - do we...

Were still on the expert meter and my boy refuses to wear a pump. However he wants to try the Dexcom G6, but I’m wondering how the I:C ratio calculations would work as the meter does it all currently and he still injecting himself? X
