M. replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"Thanks for your suggestions. Pizza just seems to hit him so late... I've tested him every hour after pizza and he's nicely in range until somewhere between the 5th and 6th hour. Then he's practically 300! Maybe he just needs to run a…"

M. replied to jodiiiii's discussion 'Etidad Airlines - UAE'"We carry a medical necessity letter from my son's doctor. No airport security person has ever read it or has even requested it. They don't care much about pump supplies, syringes and insulin vials. (I do put a little cooling pack in with…"
AustinMom replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"It varies for my son depending on the kind of pizza, how much he eats and the time of day. In general, we do a 60/40 combo bolus with the 40% spread over 2 hours. If he eats a large quantity, it seems to hit later, so we would do more like a 50/50…"
Ruth replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"I do thin crust pizza myself, and I allow 30g per slice, then I dual wave it 50/50 over a period of 4 hours. Works for me, but everyone's mileage varies.

"Pizza is an eat and test a lot experience. The obvious thing to do that I have trouble with is to limit the amount you eat to lessen the unexpected results. I think a dual wave bolus and crossing your fingers are the best advice. The other big piece…"
acidrock23 replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"I go for the "Home Run Inn Ultra Thin" variety. I grew up in Chicago and was sort of drifting to deep-dish like 20 years ago but in Champaign, where I lived 1986-2009, there was quite a bit of thin and crispy and I found that better. I…"
Timothy replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"I use square bolus or extended bolus with Animas pump. Pizza has a ton of carbs, I just use the squarewave for 2 hours. 45 carbs er slice is what I count. That is 3 units square for 2 hours.
If you experiment with it you will find the right time…"

I was wondering if anyone has a magic formula for dealing with pizza with an insulin pump. I have a 9 year old who loves pizza. We don't eat it often, but it is the birthday party food of choice... And we definitely believe in "kid first, diabetes second". For a while we had it down with a 40/60 dual wave for 6 hours, but that's not cutting it anymore. I totally understand that diabetes varies, but I'd love some tips and tricks if you have any. If you or your T1 kid eats pizza, how do you…See More

M. replied to MPetrick's discussion 'Almost 12 years diabetic - 4 months on the pump, general thoughts (dislike)'"We had a rough start when my son first went on the pump. His A1Cs were fine on shots, and we too had a similar climb in his A1C after starting the pump. It took a little while to get used to everything. I'd give it a few more months before you…"
