Scheiner in "Think Like A Pancreas" has another formula which if I remember right is even more aggressive than mine.
Of course I bolus for most drinks. |
Heh, forgot to mention to bolus too, so Kat when you were asking about low carb beers and so forth, whether it's low carb or not bolus per it's content as per normal food - but watch for that hypo reaction afterwards. My impression has usually been the liver inhibitor side effect can vary quite a bit between people.
As for drinking low carb - I wouldn't worry about it if it's to the detriment of enjoying your drink... (and if you can handle some carbs, of course) ... the only low carb beer I tried was pretty horrible
Maybe there's nice ones out there!
Actually, just realised I haven't drunk more than a drink or two since going on the pump. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to go out and do some research tomorrow night...
thanks for sharing your pump approach John, I'll try something like that.
