Re: [IPk] Re: ip-uk-digest Using dual wave for lowish BG and meal

Hi tricia
Why do you do a dual wave and not a square wave? Just interested, as it 
would seem that a simple square wave over 30 minutes would make more 
sense. or does your pump not have that option? I'd be surprised if not, 
since my older Medtronic 515 has.
