A few new questions:

I read about this "Abbott navigator" glucose real-time measuring device, anyone use that?

If I go out to a resturant, you don't always get your food quickly. So if I set insulin when I get the main course, but then have to wait maybe 30 minutes or so for dessert, do I set another shot of insulin? Will the first shot cover it? or do you have to use the I:C ratio? And wouldn't it be risky to bolus, and then they came out later and said there were no desserts?

Thanks =)
