Low Glucose Suspend
Purpose
The • Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is a feature
designed to help reduce the risk of severe
hypoglycaemia. If the feature is turned on, it
automatically alarms and halts insulin infusion
when glucose levels reach a pre-determined
threshold.
Without
• patient intervention, after a two-hour
suspension, the pump resumes Basal insulin
delivery.
If
• sensor detects that glucose remains low 4
hours after resuming insulin delivery, the pump
will re-suspend insulin delivery.
May be useful for people with
• hypoglycaemic
unawareness or nocturnal hypoglycaemia.
This feature
• will not prevent hypoglycaemia.
Settings
On/O •
You need to turn on the LGS feature. (The •
default setting for LGS is o.)
Range:
• 2.2 – 6.1 mmol/L
Should you
• clear the alert and your glucose
levels stay below the threshold set for the LGS,
within 10 minutes the LGS function will alarm
and suspend the pump again.
All other sensor functions remain operational
•
during insulin suspension.
