Square wave for Ice cream

[kel4han]

Well, we beat the ice cream highs all night on the 1st dual wave we have tried for it...but Maddison also went too low (60) :mad:

What works for you on ice cream? Our ice cream was 1/2 cup with 19c with 2g protein and 7g fat. I honestly forgot what I did and didn't even log it!! I was so mad at myself for forgetting. I think I added the 7gr fat and extended that over 2.50 hours. Not sure.....Anyway, how do you guys do it on the dual/square wave?

I just judge ice cream as 15 grams for 1 rounded scoop, then give the normal insulin for however many carbs of ice cream he ate...Were on shots, but nothing special, and it works out great:D

I really think Seth is a weirdo though, because nothing affects him any differantly than everything else...Not even pizza:confused:

I would have bolused 21 carbs over 3-4 hours at a 70/30 dual-wave bolus. But that's just what works for us; you'll have to experiment and see what will work for you.

If she went low early on, it sounds like too much insulin was front-loaded. Try reducing the initial percentage by 10 or 20 points and see what happens.

When we first began experimenting with pizza and ice cream, we started with 50/50 and gradually found that 70/30 worked better for us.
