Set a Square Wave Bolus
A Square Wave Bolus of insulin is delivered evenly over a preset period of time,
from 30 minutes to 4 hours. A Square Wave Bolus may be desirable when eating
long meals such as at banquets or receptions, high fat meals, or to compensate for
gastroparesis. During a Square Wave Bolus, the programmed basal rate is deliv-
ered simultaneously to the bolus.
