Normal bolus using Bolus Wizard
After the Bolus Wizard is turned on and the settings are programmed, Bolus Wizard can calculate an estimate of
insulin you need for your correction bolus and/or your food bolus. You have the option of using the estimate or
changing it as necessary. Additionally, your pump can receive your BG reading from the Paradigm Link meter, if
they are linked.
Use to deliver a Normal bolus at any time except during another Normal bolus. A Normal bolus will temporarily
interrupt a Square Wave or Dual Wave bolus that is delivering. After the Normal bolus is finished, the Square Wave
or Dual Wave bolus delivery will resume.
NOTE - If you want to use the pump-to-meter link, make sure the meter option is on. Refer to the
section, “Meter option” for instructions.

If you want to bolus for food, go to step 2.
2. Press on your pump, or go to the BOLUS MENU, select Use Bolus Wizard, and press ACT.

(You can change this BG
value, if necessary.) Continue
to step 4.

minutes of the pump receiving the reading from
the meter. If more than 12 minutes have
passed, the reading will no longer be available
from the screen and you must enter your BG
manually.
