So if you have desert 20min later, test you BGL, see you are high (~10mmol/l), you put in a correction AND carbs bolus, the pump will ignore the required amount of "correction" insulin (since there is already insulin in your body bringing down your BGL) and just put in the carbs bolus.
Hello Pumpman,

I can't speak for the Animas 1200 that you are on, but with the 2020 it certainly DOES take IoB into account for carb bolus' in certain situations. Read up my other threads on the subject in this part of the forum for an explanation of how the 2020 does it.

...And through the night it's love is free
It whispers and it flirts with me
And then it takes me, hard and deep
Rolls over, farts and falls asleep

And I would wake up, feeling used
My body broken, bent, abused
But now I match it, hump for hump
I give it plenty with my pump

Pumping with Apidra in my Animas 2020 since April 2008
