[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2059941, member: 374531"] Hi, [USER=505090]@sudsandsoda[/USER] , it's certainly do-able, I do it a lot, but I'd hesitate to recommend it to a recently dx'd until they are more familiar with the time pattern of insulin. I'd recommend Stephen Ponder's book Sugar Surfing for detailed info on this sort of thing. His philosophy is that if you've got cgm so that you can track in real time what is happening, and you identify a trend which looks like it is going to go too high, it makes perfect sense to nudge down with an extra unit or two now rather than deal with a messy hyper at the next meal. But the difficulty lies in how to interpret the trends. It can be too easy to jump the gun and over-react to every slight movement only to find that the next 5 or 10 min readings track back into line ok. [/QUOTE]
