selections for your insulin pump and meter remote settings. Your insulin pump must be programmed
for your own personal use. Your insulin pump settings impact the calculations for insulin delivery using
either your meter remote or insulin pump. Be comfortable with using your insulin pump before you
activate the RF feature on your insulin pump and meter remote. See the appropriate chapters in
Section I, pages 1–104 for the steps on setting up and using your insulin pump.

insulin cartridge of the pump: Humalog
check the insulin drug label to make sure it can be used with the pump.

testing with blood for the first time. See Chapter 8 in Section II, pages 159–162.
