Using Bolus Wizard
What is it?
The Bolus Wizard is an optional feature of the pump that calculates an estimated bolus:
Information you need...
Food entry
You need to know how many exchanges or grams of carbohydrates you are going to eat. (You need to know what
foods contain carbohydrate and understand carbohydrate counting.)
Your BG reading
You need to know your BG reading. When using the Bolus Wizard,
the pump can work with the Paradigm Link Blood Glucose Monitor
Powered by BD Logic Technology (Paradigm Link meter) to
automatically receive your BG reading. The section “Meter option”
in this chapter has more information. If you are not using this
meter, you will manually enter your BG.
Your personal Bolus Wizard settings
In addition to your BG reading and/or your food entry, Bolus
Wizard uses personal settings that you enter during Bolus Wizard
programming. (Instructions are in the section, “How to program Bolus Wizard.”).
You should get this information from your healthcare professional. Also, for best results, talk to your healthcare
professional before making any changes. Keep a record of your settings in the Bolus Wizard settings table on the
next page.
