Looking over that I'm not sure I got to the point very clearly. I suppose in a nutshell, the pump is blind to what carbs are in your system from before the current event. You can explicitly TELL it that you've gone low, thus it knows it should under-correct, but it will not predict that you are going to go low, as far as it knows you still need that IOB for previous carbs. Perhaps it should predict carb action in some general way, at this stage I'm really not sure how you'd come up with a useful setting.

And I can see the point of not automatically allowing for a BG curve, there have been times when my BG was rock steady for the 6 hours surrounding a high carb meal/bolus and I thought "this is awesome, it's the theoretical aim of pumping and sometimes it works". I hope to get more of that happening. So there can be virtually insignificant curves when it's working at it's best.
