508 bolus during square
Chrissy, you might’ve gotten a ton of answers already (I’m on digest)
but yes, the 508 DOES let you bolus during a square wave. It won’t let
you do anything else, though, which is occasionally a nuisance — if I
want to check my units-remaining total or whatever, I have to stop the
square-wave and re-start it. Or else just wait till it finishes, and
then wonder what it was I meant to do after the beep… <g>

Not really yours is the first. Im still experimenting w/the square wave.
What kind of duration do you use? I tried 2hrs. Im still having some
problems. Im wondering if I really need square wave. Of course I just reset
a bunch of stuff too. Chrissy

I use the square wave and sometimes the dual wave, when I am eating lots of
protein, or when I am dealing with an especially high carbo load (ie
oriental or pizza)….

Hi Chrissy: do you have the Pumping Insulin book???
You use the square wave bolus when you’ve eaten something that may take
longer to metabolize so that you have a more prolonged control over glucose
and keep it from rising tooo rapidly…..Joan:)))
