[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 192242, member: 17713"] Hi Ebony Can't understand your reasoning to want to give a multiwave as a correction bolus?? If you are needing a correction bolus, it would be because of being outside the limits on a high basis...so why would you want to give some now, and some later, surely...only by my reckoning the machine is telling to give it all straight away to get the levels down sooner rather than later.... I always use standard bolus for correction, you have your correction bolus set up to give you so much to bring you down as normal, depending on your sensitivity, and your acting time, and this is meant to bring you down within 5 hours without sending you hypo, if you have your settings correct. I do normal standard for over 5 units, but think that is because I very, very rarely have anything with high fat content. I used a mutliwave for the one occasion I have had a slice of pizza... It would be interesting to know what others do, because I was actually asked to try extended bolus for low gi foods (no lower limit of how many grams), and I had to give up doing it within 2 days, because it sent my levels so, so, so high..... I just can't see any reasoning as to giving a multiwave for a correction bolus.... [/QUOTE]
