Amy is writing about the Super Bolus. I freely admit, I’ve just never gotten the Super Bolus — but then I also have problems with extended boluses.
Not entirely new, but totally worth revisiting: pumping aficionado John Walsh’s “Super Bolus” method for smacking down high post-prandial glucose levels even before they hit.

Here’s my whole problem with the concept — I’m a math teacher AND a computer sicence teacher, and I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the math. I also haven’t been able to wrap my head around programming my pump to do all that.
The good news, being a Type 2, I think I have a bit of cushion about the effects of those things. I also try really had not to get into those situations.
I will say that Amy’s explaination makes more sense to me but maybe it’s just seeing it one more time.
