[QUOTE="iHs, post: 189970, member: 8799"] Hi This is a really good thing to bring up. I was finding it a PITA doing the blood test and then not knowing exactly how much carb I was going to eat, so get round it I do a test and then tell the pump that I am going to eat 10g carb. I then let it do the bolus calculation which works out an allowance if I am lower or higher than 6mmol, deliver the bolus and then sit down and eat my meal. After I've eaten I then bring up Bolus Advice on the remote and as long as I am still in the same Time Block, I then tell the pump that I'm going to eat some more carb but don't do the blood test. If I've eaten 30g carb I just tell the pump that I've eaten 20g and then bolus. This saves on doing 2 blood tests. I just have to remember to do the bolus and not forget. :? 8) Maybe someone else has another solution to the problem................. [/QUOTE]
