Bolus
There are three bolus types: Normal, Square Wave, and Dual Wave. This section gives instructions for a Normal
bolus using the express bolus button and navigating through the menus. (For information about Square Wave and
Dual Wave boluses, refer to chapter 6, “Optimizing pump therapy.”)
The Normal bolus delivers an immediate food or correction bolus. It can be delivered at any time except during
another Normal bolus. During a Normal bolus, most pump features are disabled until after all the bolus has been
delivered. The suspend function and the STATUS screen, however, are always available.
Normal bolus
Normal bolus can be used to cover the carbohydrate in a meal or snack and/or to correct a blood glucose that is
higher than the target that was chosen for you.
The following instructions are for a Normal bolus without the Bolus Wizard.
