Using Bolus Wizard 67
Example #3: Bolus Wizard,
Blood glucose below target (low BG)
On another morning, Michael sits down before eating the same breakfast. He tests his BG with his Paradigm Link
meter and finds it at 80 mg/dL, which is below his target. His reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by Bolus Wizard, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the ENTER FOOD screen.
Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he only take 3.0 unit of insulin.
(4.0 for food minus 1.0 to correct his BG that is lower than target).
Example #4: Bolus Wizard,
Blood glucose above target (high BG) with active insulin
Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his BG with his Paradigm Link meter
and finds it to at 200 mg/dl, which is above his target. He estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of
carbohydrate, so he enters 60 into the pump when prompted by the Bolus Wizard. Based on his settings, and as
a result of 1.5 units of active insulin, his pump will suggest that he take 4.5 units.
(4.0 for food plus 2.0 to correct his elevated BG, minus 1.5 units of active insulin).
