BG units
You can select mg/dL or mmol/L as your BG Unit (measurement type).
NOTE - If you make changes to your BG units setting, you must reprogram your insulin sensitivity and BG
targets.
Insulin sensitivity
Your insulin sensitivity is the amount your blood glucose (BG) level is reduced by one unit of insulin. This value is
used to calculate a suggested insulin dose to correct a high BG. Because this amount may vary throughout the day,
your pump lets you set up to eight (8) sensitivity settings. Your healthcare professional may only have you pro-
gram one or two ins sensitivities when you first start using the Bolus Wizard feature. Record your settings in the
“Bolus Wizard settings table.”
Insulin sensitivity values are normally between 20 – 100 mg/dL (or 1.1 – 5.6 mmol/L). If your value is outside this
range, a warning message will appear on the screen.
