You can. I do this fairly regularly if I go out to eat...combo bolus for the meal, then later a standard bolus for desert.
Thanks for that info! It is looking more and more like the Cozmo will be her next pump. I was steering clear of them because of someone on another board having a son with lots of problems. They stuck with it anyway, and discovered after he grew and stopped dropping it on the floor so much that it was fine. He went through many pumps in the first couple of years, but loved it so much that he wouldn't make the switch.

As far as the Spirit goes, they are doomed to never regain the market in this country with that kind of nonsence! People are too unsure of their jobs and health insurance these days to get a pump with an expiration date. I hope the word gets out, because they certainly won't be warning people. The warnings about their pump problems downplayed the seriousness, but my insurance rep got the real facts. That is why they let everyone change. That was a pretty big deal because this pump was only a couple of months old. They didn't know if they were going to get anything back from Disetronic for the pumps, but still payed for new ones for all of their customers. With all of the great choices out there, I wouldn't even consider the Spirit. They sent me the info, because 3 years later still think we are using their pump!
