That's what I've wondered too because there's some times when my dinner ratio can vary from 1:10 to 1:19. I haven't exactly worked on timing that one out though but when I was on day shift here at work I'd eat lunch at 11:00 am and then no dinner quite often till 6 or 7 pm and many times I needed the 1:10. But if I at lunch late and then had a snack when I got home from work it would be the 1:19.
It makes me think I either need to eat more often or eat less or just eat and pray that it works out.
A CGMS would be perfect to fully help figure that out but...
1) My insurance denied me numerous times and told me that they need evidentiary proof from a long term study of the effectiveness of the device.
2) I feel I'd have a hard time finding a spot to put one with my current pump problems without losing valuable infusion site spots. Granted the arm might not be bad for that, never tried there for CGMS. But problem A exists.
