[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 184306, member: 17713"] Hi Stoney and Martina Stoney: I believe that the target levels means that when you have to do any correction factor or bolus that your machine will calculate to bring you down to the middle of the target levels set. Mine are set to 4-8, so my machine calculates correction factors and bolus to bring me down to 6. Your settings should mean that your machine will bring you down to 6.7ish, which is a reasonable level to expect. I agree that carb ratio's do tend to change throughout the day. Mine are currently breakfast 1 to 9, lunch 1 to 16, and teatime is 1 to 7. The reasoning behind my variations is: I do a little light exercise in mornings, lunchtimes are before I walk my dogs, which used to cause real problems with low levels, and in the evenings I basically sit down and don't do much. Your daughter will more than likely need a change in bolus rates according to her activities etc, all of us vary so much. I was certainly set up on a 1 to 10g CHO ratio, but it did need to be changed, and your HCP we will be able to tell you more on this. Again, some people will be able to manage using 1 to 10c cho for every meal, but some people can't. The main thing to remember is that every single one of us is an individual, which is why the machines need the owners to be confident at making changes that suit them. So, Stoney if your correction factor works out that yours is 1 to 4 and it works don't worry that others have theirs set up to 1 to 3. I have changed mine from 1 to 3 up to 1 to 4 and now it is back to 1 to 3, it takes time to figure out what is right for each person. It takes to monitor and watch what happens. I hope I haven't confused matters.... [/QUOTE]
