Chinese food on Medtronic pump

[BJB.04]

Hi guys I need some advice on what i should do when I eat Chinese food. I'm unsure whether to dual wave it or square bolus or another solution that anyone else has. I want to avoid going high after the meal. I'm 13 years old and I do quite a lot of exercise and I always seem to go high after a Chinese meal. This usually occurs late at night or early hours in the morning.

Hi. I'm in the medtronic 640G pump and always dual wave for any takeaway meal, the effects of which can last right up to 8 hours depending on the food. It's trial and error to get it right but for me I would dual wave a Chinese meal 30% and 70% over 4 hours, if the 4 hours is up before i go to bed then I usually put a 50% increase temp basal on over night but varies depending on the food e.g Pizza needs 8hrs. Hope this helps.
