Comments on Death of a Pancreas: Can I eat some stuff?

Soon you'll be able to bolus to "eat some stuff" with the pump using that same gut intuition that you had when on NPH. It's just a learning curve. Also, sometimes I find that a temp increase in my basal rate does better to accommodate light grazing, especially if that light grazing is followed (or accompanied) by some sort of light activity (like walking around a costco). You've just gotta experiment and keep track of what works (and what doesn't!)

Cute pics!!!! Yeah, bolus every now and then :0)

Probably should have bolused. I do that all the time. My middle name should be the grazer for how I graze on snack foods.

Love it!!
Glad that correction did the trick.
It's a process figuring things out, but I've found that it's just better to bolus for everything (within reason...not a juice for a low, duh, but you know what I mean!)
Love that the PDM will reverse correct for below target BGs (if the feature is on) and that has taken a lot of the guess work out for us.
:)

You are so right about the NPH and eating stuff within reason...happens here everyday! So glad that she was able to eat such fun stuff and enjoy herself. Yay for the Polar Express...such fun and those pictures are too cute especially the one of the whole family at the end...love it! xoxo

Hi Stranger! Glad she could enjoy herself! That's one thing Matthew lives with pumping. Sounds like you handled it well!! Great pictures!

aww, how what a beautiful family! And I love Costco's "stuff", too - even if it comes in the most ginormous sizes possible. Have a wonderful pre-Christmas week :)

So glad she can just eat some stuff and can use the pump to bolus. She has that freedom now. Priceless. I think you did a great job SWAGing. The 349 could have been from the slow digestion of the high fat food... or not. Bolusing after is safer in that instance I think. Sounds like your Omni problems have resolved themselves and nice to see everything is working out. Our DD balks at using Dex but would never give up her pump.

Nice swagging! Not easy when being off just a few carbs can have such a big impact. And - how could anyone refuse that face?

Funny that you wrote this. I remember being in Costco prepump and telling my mom that when he got on the pump he'd be able to eat the samples. It was a very exciting concept.
