Someone on the IR2020 list was asking about whether or not boluses were working and I realized that mine weren’t. Not surprising as I have not been exercising as much and have been eating more. So I decided to document the process of updating everything while I was doing it.
- Download my pump using EzManager.
- Open my daily total logs and copy the data from it to my Insulin spreadsheet. Basically this is a spreadsheet where I keep 14 days of TDD and then I use the Rule of 500 for estimating my meal rates and Rule of 1800 to estimate my corrections.
- Meal correction should start at 8 now and corrections should start at 30.
- Next connect my pump to EzManager and check and see if those numbers are close to what are in the pump.
- Both were off on the pump from the spreadsheet said, so I’ve tweaked.
My next steps will happen over the next few days. I will be watching breakfast first. If I am within target at breakfast, then I’ll start watching lunch, etc. After I’ve fixed all the meals, then I will focus on the corrections.
By the way, this is easier to do as you go. What I usually do on a normal basis, is down load easy manager, and again, watch breakfast, then lunch, and then dinner and I’ll document that process as I do, mainly to keep myself back on track.
