I think the issue is likely not your pump or its algorithm but perhaps the way your using it. I've been pumping for over 10 yrs, if my BG's are normal (not low) I always use the pre-bolus and extended for meals. I pre-bolus maybe 10-15 mins before meals a given % then the rest over anything from 45 mins to few hours depending upon food type. However now I'm on low(er) carb I don't need long extensions as I don't eat flour, root veg or pasta/pastry so 30-60mins is normal.All the above assumes your settled with the pump and have the right basal and bolus settings, as your trialing the pump for 6 weeks it may be a good few weeks tweeking until you get these settled (in my experience it does change between pump types). I've in the past trialled an Omnipod and that was for 3 months, which for me was about the right timescale.</blockquote>
