Heh, I was wrong, the virtual pump WILL let you pick from the food list if you turn advanced boluses on. When you enter CarbSmart, just hit enter at ZERO carbs and it will forward you to the pick list.

You probably won't have downloaded baby foods, heh.

I eat the "bachelor diet." Almost everything I eat is either from a can, eaten between two slices of bread, thawed out/warmed in the microwave or boiled on my stove.

I can read off the labels of course, but it's easier to have them set up in my "Favorites." I pick the stuff I'd usually eat at the fast food joints. Abbreviate names so you can make sense out of what is what.

If you're always going to be eating two of something, put the carb count for a pair of them into it. Then in the unlikely event you only make one, you can put .5 as the amount. It gets annoying when I have to "build" a pair of baloney sandwiches every day for lunch on my pump (four slices of bread, four pieces of balogna). I should have put "Baloney Sandwich" in. Duh.

The factional and multiple amount allows you to account for higher or lower carb versions of the same kind of food. I get these little Clementine tangerines that I know have about 9 carbs. Animas thinks Clementines have 15 carbs. So I put in .6 as the amount rather than 1.
