That's correct Ellie - had to do it several times due to meter malfunction ! and revert to 'just a meter' but the years I've spend on MDI stand me in good stead, and with a carb ratio of 1u to 10g it's hardly a mammoth job to do the maths for bolusing, is it! LOL Hopefully all sorted now, 3rd new one plumbed in last week and awaiting the manufacturers report(s)
I've now read the links. So all the insulin I may be likely to miss out on is between 0.6 and 0.8-ish u, then? so potentially nearly 2 hours basal for me? Eek. However, since it's a YMMV anyway I'll just suck it, watch everything like a hawk (as you have to anyway when flying or anything a bit not usual) and see! No flying planned at the mo, but Oz again is always in prospect.
And lastly the comment re parachuting. Well - far as I can see, anyone who wants to do that of their own volition has prolly got a marked attraction to Risk - so I'd suggest for the duration, they take it off completely!
