Switching from Humalog to NovoRapid - excited, but nervous

@TomH

how much people calculate for fat and protein and when bolused for, if at all.

I started by following TAG. But now with Tandem pump, I tend to “swag”, since pump will auto adjust basal as bg changes. I also generally eat about same proportion carbs, protein, fat per meal.

Here is more discussion on TAG - Total Available Glucose.

Do You TAG? If so, how?

TAG (Total Available Glucose) is a counting system that also counts protein and fat (in addition to carbs) in order to calculate bolus insulin. Do you TAG? Do you TAG every meal, or some meals? What is your formula? How well does it work for you? We do not TAG in general, but do TAG high-fat meals such as Costco Pizza :-).Without it, we go high for long periods after some very high-fat meals. I will post soon an example of a TAGging error.
