Normal bolus using Bolus Wizard
After the Bolus Wizard is turned on and the settings are programmed, Bolus Wizard can calculate an estimate
of insulin you need for your correction bolus and/or your food bolus. You have the option of using the estimate or
changing it as necessary. Additionally, your pump can receive your BG reading from the Paradigm Link meter, if
they are linked.
Use
to deliver a Normal bolus at any time except during another Normal bolus. A Normal bolus will tem-
porarily interrupt a Square Wave or Dual Wave bolus that is delivering. After the Normal bolus is finished, the
Square Wave or Dual Wave bolus delivery will resume.
NOTE - If you want to use the pump-to-meter link, make sure the meter option is on. Refer to the section,
