So far so good, I'm not ready yet to say it works well, I want to 
wait about a week or so.  Lily's bg's have been MUCH more stable 
however. Today is day three ( again ) and tonight will begin to tell 
the tale.

This is similar to what Lily was experiencing.  The day one would be 
fine, day 2 squirly and day 3 worse. Bg's from 40 to 300+.

The last couple of days have been 'very' good.  It could be 
coincedence or could be the new mix.

Anyway, there have been NO adverse side effects.  We switched her 
square wave from 1/3  2/3 over 3.5 hours to 1/2 1/2 over 2.5 hours to 
compensate for the 'regular' in the mix.  Hasn't seemed to make much 
difference in hbs or meal bolus.
