Using the Bolus Wizard feature 69
BG (blood glucose) units
You can select mg/dL or mmol/L as your BG units (unit of 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 level is reduced by one unit of insulin. This
value (amount) is used to calculate a suggested bolus insulin dose to correct your blood glucose level
when it is above your target range. Correcting your blood glucose brings it down to your target range.
Since insulin sensitivity amount can change throughout the day, your pump lets you enter up to eight
(8) different insulin sensitivity settings. Your healthcare professional may have you enter only one or
two insulin sensitivity settings when you first start using the Bolus Wizard feature. Record your settings
in the “Bolus Wizard feature settings” table (see page 60).
Insulin sensitivity amounts are normally between 20 – 100 mg/dL (or 1.1 – 5.6 mmol/L). If your
amount is outside this range, a warning message will appear on the screen.
