Don't get me wrong, loop systems are great, but when you have really great control, they won't meet your expectations of BG level maintenance.  I enter information as I want into my pump and decide dosing. I have several basal programs that I set up and select under certain circumstances or as life changes and I change my basal rates. DP or no DP, snorkeling etc.So I do what I call sugar surf. I don't like going above 140 and especially above 160. I think a lot of it is in the timing of dosing. So if I start trending up and go above 140, I am watching if my arrow is trending up and will get on my exercise bike which halts a climb pretty quickly. Or if it looks like I will go above 150 I am adding more insulin because for me my guess at dosing must have been wrong. Unless of course I know the specific reason I am climbing like eating and taking insulin at the same time instead of prebolusing the right amount.   I am retired. I do not low carb, I am a vegan. My A1c has for years been between 32-34. My TIR is 96-98% between 3.9-8-9.Sugar Surfing by Stephen Ponder.
