Suspend on low
The Suspend on low feature stops insulin delivery when your sensor glucose value
reaches or falls below the low limit that you set. When a Suspend on low event
occurs, all insulin delivery is suspended. This feature is used for situations when
you cannot respond to a low glucose condition. It is intended to suspend insulin
delivery and minimize the amount of time spent low.
The default setting for the Suspend on low feature is off. Consult your healthcare
professional for the Suspend on low setting that is best for you.
If you turn on Suspend on low, then Alert on low is turned on automatically. For
more information, see Alert on low, on page 163.
WARNING: The Suspend on low feature uses the sensor glucose
value, not your blood glucose value, to automatically suspend your
pump. Your pump may automatically suspend when your sensor
glucose is at or below the low limit, while your blood glucose is
above that limit. This could result in hyperglycemia. Likewise, your
pump may not suspend even though your blood glucose is at or
below the low limit. This could result in hypoglycemia. Always
check your blood glucose and treat as appropriate.
Responding to a Suspend on low event
When you clear the Suspend on low alarm, the SmartGuard suspend by sensor
icon
flashes and "Suspended on low" appears on your Home screen.
When a Suspend on low event occurs, the pump alerts you.
