[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 543244, member: 102150"] When I take a shower I suspend my pump and when I put it back on again I see how long it's been off, and bolus for whatever basal rate I've missed. So if my basal rate was 1.0/hr and I was in the shower for a quarter of an hour, I bolus 0.25u. As long as you don't have the pump off for more than an hour at a time, just bolus for an hour's worth of basal every time you put the pump back on. [/QUOTE]
