Precautions
Blood glucose monitoring
You must check your blood sugar at least four times daily, using a tech-
nique recommended by your doctor. Notify your doctor of any increased
frequency of serious low or high excursions in your blood sugar. High
blood sugar values may indicate under-delivery of insulin. If you experi-
ence symptoms of high blood sugar, check the programmed insulin deliv-
ery settings in your PPC and contact your doctor immediately.
Conventional insulin supplies
Carry conventional insulin supplies with you at all times, including insu-
lin and a means to inject it, in case your PPC is damaged, lost or inopera-
tive. Periodically review with your doctor your recommended insulin
delivery procedure you should utilize in the event your MiniMed 2007
Implantable Pump System becomes inoperative.
Physicians instructions
Follow your doctors instructions about your insulin delivery. The range
of insulin delivery with your PPC is a basal rate between 0.2 and 35 units
per hour (U/H), and a maximum meal bolus of 25 units (U). Your doctor
may narrow this range by programming maximum limits for your Basal
Rate and Bolus. The alarm Hourly Maximum Exceeded will be dis-
played if you try to program more than 2.5 times the maximum bolus in
one hour.
