[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 63049, member: 16530"] Of course the danger with multiple corrections is the stacking effect of active insulin. My correction ratio remains at 1:3 whatever my blood sugar is, and I have learnt the hard way not to over-correct but just be a little bit patient. What does vary is my insulin/carb ratio, which is 1:13 during the day and 1:16 in the evening. I tend to use an extended bolus according to the food type, not the amount, but I can see the logic of doing so. The advice given by my DSN is really only a guide to a starting point. With a fair amount of experimentation over 4 years pump use, I can now eat a variety of different GI foods and maintain a reasonably flat bg. Takes a LOT of practice though! As with all things, what works for me should only demonstrate how I got there, not for anyone to replicate my settings. [/QUOTE]
