BG units
You can select mg/dL or mmol/L as your Blood Glucose Unit (measurement type).
NOTE - If you make changes to your BG units setting, you must reprogram your insulin sensitivity
and BG targets.
Insulin sensitivity
Your insulin sensitivity is the amount your blood glucose (BG) level is reduced by one unit of insulin.
This value is used to calculate a suggested insulin dose to correct a high BG. Because this amount
may vary throughout the day, your pump lets you set up to eight (8) sensitivity settings. Your
healthcare professional may only have you program one or two insulin sensitivities when you first
start using the Bolus Wizard feature. Record your settings in the “Bolus Wizard feature settings”
table.
Insulin sensitivity values are normally between 20 – 100 mg/dL (or 1.1 – 5.6 mmol/L). If your value
is outside this range, a warning message will appear on the screen.
1 In the EDIT SETTINGS screen, select Sensitivity
and press ACT.
2 Enter the value for the first insulin sensitivity
setting and press ACT.
NOTE - The start time for your first insulin
sensitivity is midnight (12:00A) and cannot
be changed.
7 In the EDIT SETTINGS
screen, select BG Units
and press ACT.
8 Select mg/dL or
mmol/L and press ACT.
9 The screen will return to the
EDIT SETTINGS screen to set
your insulin sensitivity next.
