Using Bolus Wizard 55
About maximum delivery
Bolus Wizard will not deliver more than the limit set for your maximum bolus. If
Bolus Wizard calculates a bolus amount that is larger than your max bolus limit
setting, the message, “MAX BOLUS EXCEEDED” will appear. If this happens,
do these steps:
1. In the MAX BOLUS EXCEEDED screen, press ACT to continue your bolus
programming. The estimate and maximum bolus amounts will appear for
your information. Continue to step 2.
If you do not want to continue, press ESC to cancel and the screen will
return to the ENTER BG screen.
2. In the EST: MAX screen, press ACT again to continue your bolus
programming. If desired, press ESC to cancel and the screen will return
to the ENTER BG screen.
NOTE - Your pump will only deliver up to your maximum bolus limit setting.
For example: The Bolus Wizard estimate is 30 units and your max bolus limit is 25 units.
When you press ACT , your pump will only deliver 25 units.
About active insulin
Bolus Wizard will use your BG reading and/or your food intake to calculate a suggested bolus based on your personal
settings (target BG, insulin sensitivity and carb ratio). Additionally, it will consider any active insulin still in your body
from prior bolus insulin deliveries.
Four to six hours after a bolus, the majority of insulin has been
absorbed, but a very small amount is active for a few more hours. The
Bolus Wizard automatically calculates this for you and subtracts the
appropriate amount. The details will appear in the ESTIMATE DETAILS
screen during the bolus programming steps.
Be assured that the calculated bolus amount is a conservative
estimate to avoid low BG. You can override the suggested Bolus
Wizard estimate and manually enter a different amount.
