Yikes, pizza/ lasagna tag team! Good job keeping up with that! I was really working hard to keep up with the appetizer rounds, dinner worked ok, then a post-dinner crash---> = dessert so I had an ok time too!

One thing to remember is that the Bolus Wizard doesn't allow you to change your insulin sensitivity factor based on how high you are. Most of us are more insulin resistant the higher we get so it takes more insulin to reduce our BG.

I know that you're new to pumping so you're wise to stick with the Bolus Wizard. But as you get more experienced, remember that it is just a recommendation.

I've only overridden once, and that was last night when I was correcting for a 57 (I've been logging treatment for lows) and it told me I needed insulin which I don't think I believe. On the other hand, this was only the second low I've had in the weeks since the pump, and I think I miscalculated the potatoes at dinner.

Personally, I'm comfortable--I'm ready to start adjusting on my own--little bits at a time. I'm tired of the fact that I've been within the high end of my range instead of the low end (of reasonable--I prefer to be at 85 rather than 115). I think my basal's set right, by my sensitivity factor could be edged just slightly.
