Combo Bolus
The Combo Bolus feature is used to "split" your bolus into a Normal and Extended Bolus. This
feature is useful for consumption of high carb/high fat meals such as pizza, that have prolonged
carb absorption. It is also useful if you will be eating ("grazing") over a few hours or if you have
gastroparesis, where food remains in the stomach for a longer period than normal. You can program
part of your bolus amount to be delivered immediately (Normal portion) and part of it to be delivered
slowly over the course of up to 12 hours (Extended portion). Your HCP can help you determine the
"split" of Normal to Extended insulin amounts, as well as the duration that is most appropriate for you.

NOTE: Your pump is "smart"; it will remember your last duration and the ratio (as percentages) you
programmed. So if you use the same duration and ratio for certain types of meals, you need only
change the total bolus amount the next time you use this feature. However, the last programmed
Combo Bolus settings will be cleared each time you change the battery.
