How-To Guide

Using SmartGuard Auto Mode
The following sections provide information on how to use SmartGuard Auto Mode
and how to view your SG data. This information helps you identify SG trends,
including indications that your SG is falling or rising rapidly. You can also view
historical SG readings in a graph format.
Safe Basal
Safe Basal is an automatic function within SmartGuard Auto Mode and cannot be
modified. The Safe Basal rate is determined by the Auto Mode feature based on
your insulin delivery history. It lets you have time to perform additional actions
required to ensure Auto Mode remains active. Safe Basal delivers insulin at a
constant rate to cover your basal needs. Safe Basal does not adjust insulin delivery
based on your current SG values.
When the pump is in Safe Basal, the Auto Mode shield appears with a white
outline.
Several conditions can cause a transition into Safe Basal. The following table
describes these conditions and the actions you must take to resume Auto Basal
delivery. An optional setting called the Auto Mode BG alert can be set to have the
pump alert you when a BG entry is required. This setting is turned on by default.
For more information about the Auto Mode BG alert, see Setting up SmartGuard
Auto Mode, on page 221.
