- The video discusses the issue of bolusing when blood sugar is low before a meal and how it can impact insulin delivery with the Tslim pump and Control-IQ system. The speaker advises against letting the pump reduce insulin from food boluses when blood sugar is low, as it can lead to a double negative effect. The importance of individualized management and working closely with a healthcare team is emphasized.
Very good, many thanks
You are very welcome!
I gave it a try. It makes a difference. Thank you.
This happens to me a lot and never knew exactly what to do. Thanks for talking about this situation. It sure helped.
Great stuff Ariel! I do notice this pattern a lot, and I’m gonna make sure to tell the little bugger no next time, he can’t take from my food bolus!
Haha, exactly! There is a lot of cautionary tape around preventing lows with these AID systems, but at times it can be too cautionary and cause the rebound (and frustrating) highs. Have a great day!
Glad to see your video. Just to let you know, when I changed from Medtronic to Tandem, I had a steep learning curve with changing sites. Your video with the Red-White-&-Blue sequence made a world of difference. Thank you 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I'm happy to hear your are doing better with your management.
Excellent! I hope this will help everyone through this holiday season!! I really like the T:slim X2 with the Dexcom G7 :) Thanks Ariel!
Hi Anderson, thank you for the kind words. Yes! I just did my G7 update, but I restarted many of my G6 so I'm trying to get through some of those first. Have you found a spot (besides the arm) for the G7 that allows them to stick well for you?
@@abovediabetesllc I just started my second site and this time I am trying an old "go-to" spot from the G6, imagine a line between your collar bone and your shoulder.. Halfway between and down about an inch and a half 😉 If I loose any more weight, I'm going to have to move away from that spot (down over 100lbs so far)
I’m Dutch so I would like to verify if I understood your point. my bloodsugar is low and I’m going to eat and would need 6 doses of insuline for that amount of carbohydrates. With my Medtronic pump I would not give anything, eat and bolus somewhat less after the meal. Am I correct that i understand that you say that with my T-Slim with CIQ I give in the amount of carbs, he says: you need 6 doses, but I will deduct some because your bloodsugar is so low, that I should overrule him and not let him deduct ? Love your video’s and I have learned a lot as a T-slim user of two weeks already😁
I would love to work with you to get our daughters Tslim to manage her sugars better. Our educators in our city don’t do well. Because the always caution on the side of high! It’s frustrating!
Hi Tanya,.
Hi Tanya, diabetes is tricky and these AID systems are great! But…it makes a big difference once you really understand how they operate to significantly reduce the daily glucocoaster. If you would like to connect, you can visit me on my website at abovediabetes.com or send me an email at ariel@abovediabetes.com.
Thank you for verifying what I have been thinking and doing for quite some time now. Less insulin on board and then less bolus insulin for a meal made for a roller coaster ride for a number of hours. Thumbs up!!
Hi Dwight, I’m glad I could be helpful. Low insulin before a meal greatly complicates postprandial BG. Have a great day.
