[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 209609, member: 13451"] spideog, perhaps there was a misunderstanding. The one thing I have found with the pump is that if you do a combo bolus and then prime or reload the cartridge it loses the delivery of the active combo bolus. So if you're going to have pasta or pizza or a food similar that needs a combo bolus make sure you've done any set changes or cartridge changes before you start the bolus otherwise it can't be interrupted until after the combo has finished delivering. Some of Jess' combo boluses are extended over 5.5 hours so on those days we need to make sure the set change is all done before the meal is eaten. It's best to do the change before a meal anyway so I see no real problem with this. I don't think it really matters too much which meal you do it before, at the end of the day the pump has to fit in with our lifestyles as much as possible so if the morning is better for some or the evening better for others then I think we should all do whatever suits us best.
