Example:
Suspend function
Helen is ready to eat her lunch. She has just programmed her pump to deliver a meal bolus when the
phone rings. Helen wants to talk on the phone and not eat her lunch right away
. She knows that if she
lets the bolus continue and she does not eat her lunch soon, she may be at risk for low blood glucose.
Helen suspends delivery of her pump to stop the bolus, but then resumes delivery to restart her basal
insulin. When she is off the phone and ready to eat, she checks her STATUS screen to see how much
insulin she received from the partially delivered bolus before she suspended her pump. She will
reprogram a new bolus for the remainder of her bolus amount.
