Oh, I see what you are referring to now. In your initial post, I saw “CF” and just immediately thought “correction factor” instead of “calibration factor”, because that is the abbreviation I see so much of.

Yes, your post makes sense. But I just gotta get you pulled over to the Dark Side. I have been working on @daisymae for a year to convert her. It is so much easier and more liberating. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/8/823558047f2788dc3e3fe46d02942210e91b4a28.jpg)

At some point, give me two weeks and I know I can make you a convert.
