Hi all,
I've started to try break out of my instinct to always choose extended bolus when i bolus for food.
I've started to use the multiwave bolus for food when i need a correction on high BG's, this is so the high BG is addressed immediately and then i still have the extended afterwards to deal with my meal. As it dawned on me that when using extended, especially for long periods of time it'd be a while before my full dose is given.
I hope this makes sense so far
SO, my question is, does anyone else use this pump and this bolus? because the pump 'suggests' an initial dose of insulin to be given immediately, and i am completely confused as to what it's reasoning is behind this.
Is it anyway based on any information that you programme into the pump?
I can certainly say i've been noting the doses seperately to see if it is working to a certain percentage but it's certainly not doing that.
For example, i just did a test run and put in enough carbs to give me an even amount of bolus which was 10u, i selected multiwave and it suggested 2.3u immediate delivery. Eh?
Either i'm missing something really simple here or my pump has a mind of it's own, as i'm sure the pump should default to 50/50?
