Hi there Beacher. Hope youre well. Thanks for your input on the Extended Bolus. Does that just deliver insulin over a period of time, of your choosing? A dual bolus is when you can program your pump (Medtronic, anyways) to deliver a % up front, and then the balance % over a certain period of time. Like, if I wanted to eat pizza, I might “tell” the pump to give me coverage for 30gms up front, and then 30gms (50% and 50%) over a extended two hour period of time. But you can split it anyway you choose (or need). 60%/40%. 40%/60%, etc. Over 1 hour, two hours, three hours, etc. This helps particularly with high fat foods that slow down digestion. Whenever I would have a Grilled Cheese with double cheese on Rye with grilled tomato, I would bolus 40% upfront, and then 60% over a two hour period. It kept me from spiking and I rarely went over 200 BG for the six hour insulin duration time (4 hours, plus the 2 hour extended bolus).
