BG reminder
When you deliver a bolus you may want to check your BG afterwards. The BG reminder is an optional feature
that beeps or vibrates to remind you to check your blood glucose after a bolus. Your pump is set at the factory
with this feature turned off. If the BG reminder is on, during bolus programming your pump will ask for the amount
of time you want to be reminded after your bolus delivers. This time can be from 30 minutes to 5 hours, or NONE.
If you do not want to use the BG Reminder at all, set the option to
off
.
1. Go to the BG REMINDER SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > BG Reminder
2. Select On and press ACT. The BG reminder
is now enabled. Exit the menus.
Now, the next time you program a bolus, your pump will ask you for the amount of
time after your bolus when you want to be reminded to check your BG.
NOTE - If you press
ESC
when the BG Reminder screen appears, your pump will
begin delivering the bolus without setting a reminder. If you program another
bolus with a BG reminder before a previously scheduled BG reminder goes off,
the previous BG reminder will be canceled.
5. The TIME SET AT screen will show the settings
that you programmed. Press
ACT and exit the
menus.
Your time/date settings are complete.
When the BG reminder goes
off, your pump will beep or
vibrate and the message
“CHECK BG” will appear on
the screen. Your pump will
beep or vibrate periodically
until it is cleared (
ESC, ACT).
When you set a BG reminder after a
bolus, the STATUS screen will show
the amount of time remaining before
the reminder will go off.
Here, the STATUS screen indicates
BG reminder will go off in 18 minutes.
