Using Bolus Wizard 57
Carb/Exch ratios
If you use grams as your carb units: Carb ratio is the number of carb grams that are covered by one unit of insulin.
If you use exchanges as your carb units: Carb ratio is the number of insulin units that are needed to cover one (1.0)
carb exchange.
Because this ratio may vary throughout the day, your pump allows you to set up to eight (8) settings. Your
healthcare professional may only have you program one or two carb ratios when you first start using the Bolus
Wizard feature.

and press ACT.
5. The screen will change to SET CARB RATIO 1 (if you are
using grams) or SET EXCH RATIO 1 (if using exchanges).
Set your first ratio and press ACT.
(The start time for your first ratio is midnight (12:00A) and
cannot be changed.)
NOTE - Carb ratio values are normally between 5–50 grams/u or 0.3–3.0 u/exch.
If your ratio value is outside the range, this warning message will appear on the
screen. Press
