[QUOTE="jopar, post: 45962, member: 11712"] Hi mary_4 firstly welcome to the forum.. As already been mentioned that apart from the good old carb and the blood sugar measurement, there are other factors such as stress, even the ambient tempreture can have a effect... I think if you have a look at some of the newer isnulin pumps that combine a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and the different wizards for bolusing and correction this would be very helpful for you... A good question to ask a diabetic, is what they would like or feel they need within a system? I do use a insulin pump sadly mine doesn't have the ability of CGM or some of the wizards. But if asked the question of wants and needs I would answer as follows A system, that can monitor my BG's 24/7, A system tha contains a computer that learns, by this I mean that over a period of times it learns how ambient tempretures effect my levels, how exercise effects my levels etc. It does contain some form of glucose delivery, This would enable it to act more like a pancreas, if levels start to drop it can then supply a determined amount of glucose to stablise the your levels.. This system could be as my pump is, connected via cannular, or in fact a implantation of a system? Hope this has given some food for thought... Don't forget ask questions as you need, as you will find that we will give as much information as possible... [/QUOTE]
