1 Go to the BG REMINDER SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > BG Reminder
2 Select On and press ACT. The BG Reminder 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 the message 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 before the reminder will go
off. Here, the STATUS screen indicates BG Reminder will go off in
18 minutes.
Basal
Basal insulin is required to maintain your target glucose values when you are not eating. Your 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.
Start and stop times
When you set your basal rate(s) in the BASAL MENU, your pump prompts you to set the start time for each
basal delivery. The start time of one basal rate is the stop time of the previous rate. This gives you
continuous basal insulin through a 24-hour period. For basal rate 1, the start time is midnight (12:00 a.m.
or 00:00) and cannot be changed. See below for a sample graph of basal rates.
