Using the Bolus Wizard feature
What is it?
Bolus Wizard is a feature that calculates an estimated bolus to support your food intake or to correct a high
blood glucose. To use this feature, you need the following information:
Carbohydrate counting
You need to know which foods contain carbohydrates and how to count these.
Your blood glucose reading
You need to know your blood glucose (BG) reading. When using
the Bolus Wizard feature, the pump can work with blood glucose
meter powered by MWT1 technology to automatically receive
your blood glucose reading. MWT1 is the wireless Radio
Frequency (RF) technology that is used to transmit information
from the meter to the pump. You can program your pump to automatically receive your BG reading from this
meter. All meters referenced in this user guide are blood glucose meters supported by MWT1 technology. The
Meter option section in this chapter has more information. If you are not using this meter, you will manually
enter your blood glucose.
Your personal Bolus Wizard feature settings
In addition to your blood glucose reading and/or your food entry, the Bolus Wizard feature uses personal
settings that you program into the pump. (For instructions see the How to program the Bolus Wizard feature
section in this chapter.)
