BG units
You can select mg/dL or mmol/L as your Blood Glucose Unit (measurement type).
NOTE - If you make changes to your BG units setting, you must reprogram your insulin sensitivity
and BG targets.
Insulin sensitivity
Your insulin sensitivity is the amount your blood glucose (BG) level is reduced by one unit of insulin. This value is used
to calculate a suggested insulin dose to correct a high BG. Because this amount may vary throughout the day, your
pump lets you set up to eight (8) sensitivity settings. Your healthcare professional may only have you program one
or two ins sensitivities when you first start using the Bolus Wizard feature. Record your settings in the “Bolus
Wizard settings table.”
Insulin sensitivity values are normally between 20 – 100 mg/dL (or 1.1 – 5.6 mmol/L). If your value is outside this
range, a warning message will appear on the screen.
1. In the EDIT SETTINGS screen, select Sensitivity and
press ACT.
2. Enter the value for the first insulin sensitivity setting

NOTE - The start time for your first INS
SENSITIVITY is midnight (12:00A) and cannot be
changed.
