I am totally confused on what you are trying to prevent. You seem to be going against the reason for pumping. For example, I woke up at 10 this morning running 66. I gave myself some food to correct and by 1:00 I was 147. I gave a bolus to bring the 147 down to 100 at that time and then now I'm eating lunch at 1:40 and I gave my lunch bolus. I didn't hold or give a bolus early for either instance.

Why would you not correct a high immediately on a pump?

Why would you want to give a food bolus an hour early just to give it with the correction?

The main advantage of a pump is to give insulin when you need it and not have to wait.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
