Bolus Wizard
The Bolus Wizard is a feature that uses your individual Bolus Wizard settings to
calculate an estimated bolus amount based on the BG values and carbs that you
enter. Work with your healthcare professional to define your personal settings,
which include your carb or exchange ratio, insulin sensitivity, BG target range, and
active insulin time.
Note: If you do not know how to count carbs, consult with your
healthcare professional before using the Bolus Wizard.
After you set up the Bolus Wizard, you can use it to calculate and deliver a food
bolus, a correction bolus, or a food plus correction bolus using a Normal bolus (see
page 73), Square Wave bolus (see page 77), or Dual Wave bolus (see page 79).
The following sections describe how to set up the Bolus Wizard. Bolus delivery
instructions are provided in the individual sections for each bolus type.
Understanding your Bolus Wizard settings
Your pump guides you through entering the following settings when you first turn
on the Bolus Wizard feature. Get your prescribed settings from your healthcare
professional, and always consult your healthcare professional before changing your
settings. The setup procedure begins on page 66.
