Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) - A

serious condition that occurs

when the insulin levels are

low

, blood glucose level are

elevated, and the body uses

fat for energy. This process

produces ketones which upset

the body's acid-base balance

leading to a potentially life

threatening situation.

DKA - Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Dual Wave

®

bolus - Combination

of a Normal bolus that is

delivered immediately, then

followed by a Square Wave

bolus. The Square Wave

portion is delivered evenly

over a period of time.

Duration - Amount of time it

takes to administer a bolus or

basal delivery. Also, length of

time for an action or

condition.

E

Easy bolus™ - Method of delivery

Electromagnetic compatibility

-

The condition that exists

when systems and devices

that use electromagnetic

energy operate properly

without causing or suffering

accidental electromagnetic

interference to or from other

electromagnetic devices.

Electrostatic discharge

- The

rapid, spontaneous transfer of

electrostatic charge induced

by a high electrostatic field.

The charge usually flows

through a spark, known as

static discharge, between two

objects at different

electrostatic levels as they

approach each other (for

example, when people touch

each other after dragging

their feet on a carpet).

Exch ratio - (Exchange ratio)

Used when counting

carbohydrates as exchanges.

The amount of insulin

required to cover one (1)

carbohydrate exchange. (Also

see carb ratio.)

Exchange system - A system of

estimating carbohydrate and

calorie intake that groups by

lists similar types of food in

serving sizes. A person can

exchange, trade, or substitute

a food serving in a particular

group for another food serving

delivery for any bolus type

using the express bolus button

.

Fiber - A substance found in

foods that comes from plants.

Carbohydrate amount for

foods or meals with more

than 5 grams of fiber.

Fingerstick - One method used

to test blood glucose by

taking a sample of blood for

testing from a finger using a

lancet or automatic finger

puncture device.

Fixed prime - Fills the cannula
