First Christmas with pump

ah ah
now this is different time from the rest of year new people new slower regime over the 2 days .
eat little and often .
but do estimate you CARBS MORE ACCURATE TO GIVE MORE INSULIN TO COVER
ALSO YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR BASEL UP FROM 100% TO SAY 120 % IF NOT GOING OUT FOR WALK ..
IF WALKING MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GLUCOSE BACK UP IF YOU DO GO LOW
AND AVOID LATER NIGHT SNACKING take a note if you eat an apple or orange about TEN GRMS OF carbs
GOOD LUCK GOOD HEALTH

If going to be grazing more food than normal you may wish put on a tbr. My tbr's always went up to 250% over xmas (due to drambuie liquer coffees mainly!! ).

Just keep eye on regularly and learn for next christmas!! Or Easter!!
 
TBR's do a good job -- but I have popped on a libre for Christmas this year and it is proving a worthy addition -- buffet type food all day and my range has been between 3.6 - 6.7 all day
( total approx. 145 carbs )
I am happy with the results ( only the 1 hypo at 3.6 at approx. 8:50pm )

YES THEY ARE BRILLANT PEICE OF KIT .
LET HOPE more machines like that come out in 2017 ps ,just double check with normal blood meter to give you a idea what the range is i once done a blood sample on 3 machines all had slight difference but overall all now pretty good look back in time to see why you were low at 8 50 cherrs and a steady one vic
