Example 3: Suspend before low, responsive, stays suspended
Doug has just finished his evening jog on the beach. As he is walking home, he
receives a Suspend before low alert. He sees that his pump has automatically
suspended his insulin delivery. Doug clears the alert by selecting OK on his pump.
He knows that his pump is now suspended and insulin delivery has been stopped.
He checks his BG to confirm and keeps his insulin suspended.
A while later, Doug receives another alert. He looks at his pump and sees that he
has received an Alert on low. His SG has reached his low limit. He clears the alert
and checks his BG to confirm. He eats carbohydrates to treat the low glucose as
instructed by his healthcare professional.
Doug keeps his insulin suspended as directed by his healthcare professional. He
knows that once his SG is above his low limit and trending upward, or reaches the
maximum suspend time of two hours, basal insulin delivery will automatically
resume.
Example 4: Suspend on low, response after basal delivery resumes
Michael is on his college hockey team. He played in a hockey tournament all day
and is so exhausted that he falls asleep watching television. His sensor glucose
value begins to drop. When his sensor glucose value reaches his low limit, the
pump begins to alarm. It automatically suspends all insulin delivery. Michael does
not respond to the alarm. After ten minutes, his pump begins to siren and displays
the emergency message.
About three hours later, Michael’s roommate comes home. He hears the pump
sirening and wakes up Michael. Michael clears any messages by selecting OK. He
sees that his basal insulin was suspended for the two hour maximum and had
automatically been resumed. He checks his blood sugar and sees that it is within
the target range.
