Easy bolus
The EASY BOLUS button allows a quick way to deliver a Normal bolus. You will pre-set the settings for this
feature in the EASY BOLUS OPTION screen in the BOLUS MENU. Your pump is sent from the factory with the Easy
Bolus feature set to on. If you do not want to use Easy Bolus, turn it off.
NOTE - If you are using the remote control, the Easy Bolus must be set to on.
After you setup Easy Bolus, with each press, you can increase the Normal bolus amount by a fixed amount,
called a “step.” Before you can deliver an Easy Bolus, you must set the amount in the EASY BOLUS ENTRY screen.
This amount equals the number of units of insulin for each step. The maximum number of steps is 20 and can be up
to your maximum bolus limit.
Once you set your step amount, you can program your Easy Bolus. When you are in the HOME screen, each time
you press the Easy Bolus amount increases by one “step.” You will hear a beep or feel a vibration for each step
increase. Each beep is a different tone. This makes it easy for you to count the beeps while you are programming
your Easy Bolus.
