BG Reminder
After you deliver a bolus you may want to check your blood glucose. The BG R
eminder is an optional
feature that makes the pump beep or vibrate to remind you to check your blood glucose after a bolus.
However, this reminder is not available after an Easy Bolus. Your pump is set at the factory with the BG
Reminder feature turned off.
When setting a bolus, if the BG Reminder is on, your pump will ask you to set up the BG Reminder
Duration. This sets how long after bolus delivery you will be reminded to check your BG. This time can be
from 30 minutes to 5 hours, or NONE. The BG Reminder is not available after an Easy Bolus.
1 Go to the BG REMINDER SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > BG Reminder
2 Select On and press ACT. The BG R
eminder is now enabled. Exit the menus.
Now, the next time you program a bolus, your pump will ask you for the amount of time after your
bolus before you want to be reminded to check your blood glucose.
When the BG Reminder goes off, your pump will beep or vibrate and CHECK BG will appear on the
screen. Your pump will beep or vibrate periodically until it is cleared (ESC, ACT).
When you set a BG Reminder after a bolus, the STATUS screen will show the amount of time remaining,
in minutes and hours, before the reminder goes off.
Basal
Basal insulin is required to maintain your target glucose values when you are not eating. Y
our healthcare
professional will calculate this rate for you. Your basal insulin accounts for approximately one half of the
body's total daily insulin requirements. Your pump mimics your pancreas by delivering insulin continuously
over 24 hours.
You can set your insulin pump to change rates during the day to match your needs. Your needs depend on
your lifestyle and insulin requirements. Some people only use one rate throughout the day, while others
find they need more. Your basal rates are made up of insulin deliveries that have start and stop times.
Once set, these rates make up your 24-hour basal pattern and are repeated daily.
