NOTE - Be aware. If you use “time” as the low resv warning type and you deliver large boluses, the actual
time remaining could be less than the warning time. “Time” low resv warning types are intended to let
you know if you will have enough insulin while you are sleeping.
Review daily insulin totals
The DAILY TOTALS screen provides a day-by day history of the total amount of insulin that delivered for the
past 14 days. This screen includes all bolus and basal amounts delivered midnight-to midnight for each of the past
14 days. The first line in the DAILY TOTALS screen shows the amount of insulin you delivered so far that day.
NOTE - The insulin used to prime your pump are not included in the DAILY TOTALS screen. This amount is
counted separately and shown in the PRIME HISTORY screen.
➤ Why should I review my daily totals?
Comparing your daily insulin deliveries to your blood glucose records helps you and your healthcare profes-
sional identify your optimal daily insulin rate(s).
➤ What is included in the daily totals?
Daily totals include all basal and bolus insulin deliveries, but they do not include insulin used for priming your
pump. Each total reflects all basal and bolus insulin delivered for that day.
