NOTE - If you have BG Reminder turned on, a screen displays allowing you to accept or modify

the length of time after this bolus before you are reminded to check your blood glucose. See

the section, “BG reminder” for information about this feature.

4 Press ACT to accept and deliver the bolus. The

Normal bolus will start. As the bolus delivers, the

amount shown on the screen will increase until the

entire bolus has been delivered.

The pump will beep/vibrate at the start of the bolus. When the

bolus is finished, the pump will beep/vibrate again and the HOME

screen will appear.

Below are some practice lessons that will help you understand this

pump feature.

Normal meal bolus using the exchange system

Normal bolus can be used to cover the carbohydrate in a meal or snack and to correct a blood glucose

that is higher than the target that was chosen for you.

Fred has been taught that he needs to take 1 unit of insulin for every carbohydrate exchange that he

eats (every milk, starch or fruit). For lunch today he will eat:

Turkey sandwich with two slices of bread 2 starches

1 small apple 1 fruit

1 cup of non-fat milk 1 milk

_________

Total carbohydrate exchanges = 4

Fred's lunch has a total of 4 carbohydrate exchanges so he will take a meal bolus of 4 units for his lunch.
