Comments on: Carelink (wireless) USB Uploads for Paradigm Pumps! http://diabeticrunner.com/2008/04/02/carelink-wireless-usb-uploads-for-paradigm-pumps/ A podcast following the life of a diabetic runner. Jamie uses an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor as he trains for various races as a middle-of-the-pack runner. Follow his training, and gain some insights into running on insulin from first hand accounts of someone actually doing it.

To be honest, that meter is inferior anyway, so I've never used it for anything other than uploading my pump data. Good point though, it will be interesting to see if the new meter option they offer links with the Carelink USB wirelessly... And if it's a lifescan meter, as reported, it may be worth taking a look at.

Think I'll stick with he cable that came with the meter to download both my pump and my meter.

They are really getting the word out about it by giving them away in person and online. Good way to get people off the meter they had been using, I guess. Wow, that is WAY cool Kathy!

Rob - I do normally bolus at the end of a run - I usually do it with about 5 minutes of the run remaining, and it's usually 1 to 2 units depending on my current BG and upward/downward trend (did I mention I LOVE CGMS), and the length of time that's passed since my last GU gel. If I happen to give too much insulin... in my book, no problem because I'm usually hungry after runs anyway! :-) COOLIO - I just got a UPS confirmation, and should be uploading data with the USB device sooner than the expected 6 weeks… as in NEXT WEEK!

So, do you normally bolus after your runs? If so, how do you know how much or do you use the wizard? Thanks for the link, I just ordered mine. So, do you normally bolus after your runs?
