Cozmo/Carb Question

[tracyn]

Sydney, 13, is using the Cozmo (12 days now) and I need an opinion from you pumpers on her varying carb meals/snacks. She is not a big eater and her carbs vary daily. Would it help us if she would eat a more consistent carb meal/snack everyday OR is this one reason we pump (flexibility)? Maybe we need to consider her food combinations? OR What do you think about the Glycemic Index? We haven't got a handle on the sugars yet!

Thats the beauty of the pump

Once you get the basals right you simply count the carbs
If its 20 put in 20 - if its 120 put in 120 the pump figures out the rest.

It useful to try set carb amounts till basals and carb ratios are set, then it's fine to vary all you want.

I'm not a Cozmo user but I'm a pumper!

I went on a pump more for flexibility than anything else. If I want to have a large breakfast that has 40g carbs, I can. If I'm not hungry, I don't have to eat or I'll have a low-carb yogurt of 3g. It's the same for lunch & dinner. One day I may eat a total of 80-100g of carbs, and the next day eat 60g or less.
