Example 3: Blood glucose below target (low blood glucose) and no active insulin
On another morning, Michael sits down before eating the same breakfast. He tests his blood glucose
with his meter and finds it to be at 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), which is below his Low BG T
arget of v (5.0
mmol/L). His reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the
ENTER FOOD screen. Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he only take 3.5 unit of insulin.

Example 4: Blood glucose above target (high blood glucose) with active insulin
Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his blood glucose with his
meter and finds it to to be at 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), which is above his target of 120 mg/dL (6.6
mmol/L). He estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of carbohydrate, so he enters 60 into the pump
when prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature. Based on his settings, and as a result of 1.5 units of active
insulin, his pump will suggest that he take 4.5 units.
