[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 192216, member: 17199"] Hey guys, Just wondering, what sort of boluses do you use and when? my pump does the following; Standard bolus : all insulin deliver immediately in one go Extended bolus : all insulin delivered over a chosen period of time (15mins-X amount of hours) Multiwave bolus : part of insulin dose delivered immediately and the rest over a chosen period of time. So, my wondering is that my nurse first said to use standard bolus whilst i was getting to grips with things. then she said to use the extended bolus if the dose was higher then 5units. Now she has said that it's recommended to always use the multiwave bolus when over 5 units. I currently use all three, standard bolus if a small amount of insulin, an extended bolus if its more or has a high fat content. I use the multiwave bolus if my meal has a complex carb. But thinking about it, i should probably use the multiwave bolus if i need a correction, so i can deliver this immediately and the rest is an extended, because i want that to be corrected asap. Just wondering if my thinkings are along the right lines and im curious what other people do? Thaaaaaaanks as always :) [/QUOTE]
