Example 3: Blood glucose below target (low blood glucose) and no active insulin
On another morning, Michael sits down before eating the same breakfast. He tests his blood glucose with
his meter and finds it at 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL), which is below his Low BG Target of 5.0 mmol/L
(90 mg/dL). His reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the ENTER
FOOD screen. Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he only take 3.5 unit of insulin.
Food estimate:
Bolus estimate = Food estimate + Correction estimate
Bolus estimate = 4 units + (-0.5) = 3.5 units
