How-To Guide

WARNING: Do not put your pump into Auto Mode if you have used
the pump in the last 3 days to practice button pressing, or if basal
insulin that was programmed into your pump was not your actual
basal delivery. Doing so may result in the delivery of too little or
too much insulin, which can cause hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Auto Mode uses the recent delivery history on your pump to
determine the Auto Basal delivery amount you receive. If you have
been practicing with your pump, you must clear the active insulin
and the total daily doses in the pump before using Auto Mode. Use
the Clear Active Insulin option in the Manage settings menu to clear
both active insulin and the total daily dose.
To prepare your pump for SmartGuard Auto Mode:
1. Cancel any active Temp Basal rates. See Canceling a temp basal or preset temp
basal rate, on page 77.
2. Ensure your delivery is not suspended. See Stopping and resuming your insulin
delivery, on page 78.
3. Set your carb ratio. See Changing your carb ratio, on page 94.
4. Review your high and low limit settings. Your high and low limit settings
apply to Auto Mode. See Understanding glucose settings, on page 176 for
details.
5. Enter a BG reading if you have not entered one in the past 12 minutes. If
necessary, calibrate your sensor. If you have just started a new sensor,
calibrate your sensor, and then wait 30 minutes before you enter a BG for
Auto Mode. For more information about calibrating your sensor, see
Calibrating your sensor, on page 204.
Setting up SmartGuard Auto Mode
Auto Mode can be enabled at any time but does not activate until the 48-hour
warm-up period has been completed. For details about the warm-up period, see
Before using SmartGuard Auto Mode, on page 220. Once enabled, Auto Mode begins
automatically when all conditions are met and a BG is entered. For more
information, see SmartGuard Auto Mode Readiness, on page 223.
