For some the algorithm works well, comparable to others who eat a normal diet. Some mention that the algorithm is built to help T1D's to live a normal life with a normal diet, which means it is not really fit for low carb. Several people experienced problems. Some of them even increase their carb intake to have the algorithm give better results in their bloodsugarlevels. Others increase there carb input in the bolus wizard with 10% to deal with the proteins, others increase the number of carbs in the bolus wizard with 50% of the protein count of the meal, others bolus for the carbs before the meal and bolus for the proteins f.e. 2 hours later. I personally find it a lot of extra work, which is disappointing. For this portion of pump therapy the dual bolus in a 'dum' pump is even more practical. I have 1 week to go and am going to test what happens when increasing and/or splitting the boluses to deal with the proteins. I will let you know later how it worked out!</p></blockquote><p></p>
