    Hopefully in future there will be a More streamlined solution....I mean you’re talking about 5-6 apps for one issue...yeah it’s complex but still...it’s not user friendly and this shows there is still much much much space for improvements. Also unfortunately some apps are not translated for Germans for example which is a bit sad.
    I personally use only loop, Dexcom and clarity app. I’m looking forward to try out SNAQ but not sure how well results will be. Maybe they can make use of LIDAR Sensor for better results.
    Maybe someone can also finally find a cure - it’s about time. I mean we turn to 2021 - how future sounds that?!

    I like to use Diabetes:M it is very user-friendly and very complete, you can also use it as a CGM 9Libre/Dexcon) and it does a lot of statistics with your data that I consider interesting (like the sensibility of insulin, and proportion CHO/U). And it also calibrates very easily by just entering new reading of a finger prick, (which you can differentiate from cgm read)

    I’ve not eaten Pizza in forever but I have to say I would still (probably take a larger amount of FA insulin) for the carbs not taking the fats into consideration as I would usually not be having an active day if I’m eating like this plus taking into account insulin resistance. I guarantee I’d probably still spike after this so I’d go for a brisk 15 min walk to “walk it off”. That’s my short term way of dealing with a self caused miscalculation of carbs/Insulin ratio.

    • @darioflood7326
      @darioflood7326 3 роки тому +2

      Bolus for ‘naked’ carbs is tricky for two reasons (based on my knowledge).
      1. There is no fat to slow the digestion of the carbs (e.g. with cereal or porridge)
      2. You’re typically eating in the morning, meaning you’ve been fasting over night. Food is digested faster. You also have very little active insulin in your system, meaning your liver does not know it should absorb sugar.
      There are two possible ways to solve this problem and get better sugars.
      1. Bolus an initial correction 1 hour before eating, that would adjust you to 4.5 mmol, then inject 20 mins before for your food
      2. Bolus 30 mins before, noting your ratio is typically significantly lower in the mornings
      Chinese food is FULL of sugar - and so bolus 30 mins before for it!

    Are you transferring the data you put into MyFitnessPal into Diabits? I'm currently using Yazio and Sugarmate. Yazio is putting the carbs into Apple Health where Sugarmate pulls them from. This is something, Diabits cannot do right now. To really get the most out of Diabits, it probably needs to know your carbs, too?
    Also, I didn't really get from the video why you use Snaq AND UnderMyFork - aren't they essentially providing the same use?

    For those type 1 diabetics that are not using a pump and cgm but are manually bolusing based on blood sugar level, food carbs, insulin on board, exercise prediction, etc I recommend Rapid Calc ( I use on iphone) and I find it brilliant for calulating bolus dose. I use in conjunction with freestyle libre reading. The fact that libre result lags finger prick blood test doesn't seem to make much difference. If you are already using a pump I assume that the bolus calc will be done by pump and you won't need rapid calc. If you using pens give rapid calc a go.

    Also, the last one sounds similar to the t-slim pump's control-iq, which is built into the pump (though you need a cgm for it to work). So for those who don't have an IOS device and are considering a pump, there's that.

    6:54 For a while I also used to have issues doing bolus for cereals. But then I found out that the milk is the one messing with my values. I tried using unsweetened vanilla almond milk (only 1 carb per cup) and then just bolus on the carb count on the cereal. Although not perfect, it improved much better my BG after the bolus. Then, you just have to trial and error less insulin per carbs just with cereal because most cereals are mostly fibers. And if you have a pump, try delaying the insulin delivery a bit (fibers take longer to absorb).
    If you hate the flavor of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (and your cereal isn't sweet enough), just add a bit more of low/zero carbs, artificial sweeteners.
