[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 877067, member: 89325"] Thank you so much [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] for taking the time to write this and address all my concerns :-) -- it's good to know you still snack... That's one of the things I found really hard with MDI on porcine -- with friends etc if someone impromptu-sly (is that a word?!) pulls out something and everyone's tucking in, it's hard to say 'hang on everyone, I just need to test my blood sugars, go inject, wait half an hour -- and then I can join you' -- by then whatever impromptu snacking is long gone...! ;-) ... I guess in that situation the pump allows me to not need to excuse myself to inject, and I guess I'd just have to deal with being higher than I'd like for the half hr or so it takes the porcine to kick in? It's not like the scenario I'm describing happens that often... [USER=11028]@noblehead[/USER] I'm exactly as azure described on MDI; I need to bolus thirty mins before lunch and dinner and 45 before breakfast... But I never want to eat as soon as I wake so I just bolus as the first thing I do, then do other stuff... Then eat... And for lunch and dinner I'm almost always making my food -- so I just figure out what I'm eating and bolus for that, then make it... The timing usually works out that way :-) -- one other question [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] - I've been using just novo this week and whilst there's a lot I don't like about it, I do like that I can decide what I'm having for dinner, bolus for it... Then if a couple of hrs later I decide I fancy some chocolate, I can do another bolus for the choccie... I don't worry about the effects of stacking doing that because the duration is short in novo, and had no tail... But with porcine would you do this...?
