Re: [IPp] Square wave and dual wave bolus
Suzanne,
I am new to the MM pump and I don't quite understand the square wave
concept yet. However, I do know you can choose a time (I usually do
30 minutes) and it gives nothing up front and the whole bolus over the
30 minutes (or whatever time you set). I use this when Cole is low,
treating the low (juice or tabs) and eating a snack to allow the BG to
come up w/o hitting it right away with insulin.
I use the dual wave for highs &/or when he is eating food with fat in
it (takes longer to digest, therefore longer for the carbs to hit the
blood stream). I usually do that over 30 minutes too.

pumping at 9.5 with MM, dx'd at 23 months

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start
from now and make a brand new ending.
