Accept - Pressing the ACT button to approve the
selection or setting.
Active Insulin - Bolus insulin that has been delivered
to your body, but has not yet been used.

Basal Rate - The pump setting that provides a
continuous infusion of insulin to keep the blood

Basal insulin mimics pancreatic insulin delivery --
which meets all the body’s non-food related insulin
needs.
BASAL REVIEW screen - shows the basal rates
programmed in the pump, with the 24-hour total for
each rate.
BG - Blood Glucose
BG reminder - Feature that you can set to remind you
to check your blood glucose after a bolus.
BG target - normal blood glucose level
BG unit - blood glucose unit of measure (mg/dl or
mmol/L)
Block - Feature that restricts access to all
programming except suspend, selftest and the
delivery of a bolus with the remote control.
Bolus - A dose of insulin given to cover an expected
rise in blood glucose (such as the rise after a meal) or
to lower a high blood glucose down to target range.
BOLUS HISTORY - This screen displays the last
twenty-four (24) boluses delivered by your pump.
Bolus Wizard™ - Feature that calculates the bolus
amount based on personal information of the pump
user.
C
Carb ratio - (Carbohydrate ratio)
Used when counting carbohydrates in grams. The
amount of carbohydrates covered by one unit of
insulin. (Also see exch ratio.)
Carb units - The food entry when using the Bolus
Wizard. Entered as (carbohydrate) grams or
exchanges.
