Enter target blood glucose value
1. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter a target blood
glucose (BG) value, then press Next.
2. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter the “correct
above” value or correction threshold (the BG value above
which you want the PDM to suggest a correction bolus), then
press Next.
3. To save the target BG value, press Done. To change these set-
tings, select the segment you wish to change and press Edit.
You can define up to 4 target BG time segments. To enter

a. Press New.
b. Enter a start time for the target BG segment, then press
Enter.
c. Enter an end time for the target BG segment, then press
Next.
d. Enter a target blood glucose value, then press Next.
e. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter the “cor-
rect above” value or correction threshold (the BG value
above which you want the PDM to suggest a correction
bolus), then press Next.
f. When you have finished entering segments, press Done.
4. To see the segments as a list, press List. To return to the
graphic view, press Graph.
5. Press Save to accept the target BG profile you have set.
Enter minimum BG allowed for use in bolus calculation
1. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter a minimum
blood glucose value, below which the System will not calcu-
late a suggested bolus. The values are in 1 mg/dL increments
and range from 50 to 70 mg/dL.
2. Press Next.
Enter insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio
1. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter your insulin-
to-carbohydrate ratio, then press Next. (Insulin-to-carbohy-
drate ratio is the number of carbs covered by 1 unit of insulin.)
If the suggested bolus calculator is On, a correction
bolus will be suggested only when your BG is above
the value shown in brackets on the screen.
