A blood glucose value is current for up to 10 minutes
after it is tested. So you can wait up to 10 minutes,
restart the bolus process, and not have to retest your
blood glucose in order to include it in the suggested
bolus calculator.
When your blood glucose result reads “HIGH” or
“LOW,” the suggested bolus calculator will be
disabled.
If you use a separate blood glucose meter—not the
Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)—you will need to

Down Controller buttons to enter your current BG

by the suggested bolus calculator.
You can also enter a BG manually by choosing the
More actions menu, then choosing Add BG Read-

Glucose.
In the Suggested Bolus screen, “adjusted for IOB”
appears only when IOB is a factor in the calculation.
