I am just wondering if you can do something with a spirit combo and if so, how is it done.
I took my blood sugar a half hour ago. It was 6.4. I wanted to see where I was at before I decided what I wanted to eat. I went into the kitchen and decided on a sandwich.
I have fresh baked bread so I had to weigh it and work out the carbs. It came to 35g.
So, with my old pump I would enter my blood sugar level of 6.4 and then the carbs of 35g and it would work out my insulin.
On the remote control on the spirit you have to test your blood sugar to get the reading up and then enter your carbs. However, what if I don't know my carbs at that exact moment because I am waiting on my results to decided what to eat?
Can I go back to the remote once I know what I want to eat and enter the carbs on the last blood sugar result so it will work out what insulin to have? or, do I have to test again?
Thanks 8)
