User's Manual

exchange ratio The number of insulin units that are needed to cover
1 carbohydrate exchange. The exchange ratio is based
on your individual needs and is used to calculate bolus
amounts.
food bolus A dose of insulin you give to cover an expected rise in
glucose levels from carbohydrates.
High limit The value you set to determine when the pump will
alert you of a high sensor glucose condition.
infusion set Tubing that connects to the reservoir on one end, and
has a needle or cannula on the other end, that you
insert into your body. Insulin travels from the pump
through the infusion set into your body.
infusion site The location on the body where the infusion set is
inserted.
insulin sensitivity factor The amount that blood glucose is reduced by one unit
of insulin. The insulin sensitivity factor is used to
calculate correction bolus amounts.
interstitial fluid The fluid that surrounds the cells in the body.
ISIG The signal created by the sensor that is used to calculate
your sensor glucose value. Typically used by Medtronic
technical support representatives when troubleshooting.
lock A pump feature that prevents accidental button presses.
Low limit The value you set to determine when the pump will
alert of a low sensor glucose condition, and also used for
determining if insulin delivery should be suspended.
Manual Bolus A feature that allows you to enter and deliver a dose of
insulin in the amount that you have determined is
necessary.
Max Basal Rate A feature that allows you to set the maximum amount
of basal insulin that can be delivered per hour.
Max Bolus A feature that allows you to set the maximum bolus
amount that can be delivered in one dose.
meter A term for any blood glucose meter.
