CGM Sensor probe - The part of the Sensor that
is inserted under your skin with the Applicator. It
measures the glucose levels in your surrounding
tissue fluid.
CGM startup period - The 2-hour startup period
after you tell the pump you have inserted a new
Sensor (CGM readings cannot be provided during
this time).
CGM Transmitter - The CGM component that
snaps into the Sensor Pod and wirelessly sends
CGM readings to your pump.
CGM Transmitter ID - Transmitter ID that is
entered into your pump to talk to the Transmitter.
CGM Transmitter latch - The small disposable
piece that snaps the Transmitter into the Sensor
Pod. It is removed after the Transmitter is
snapped in.
CGM trends - Trends let you see the pattern of
your CGM readings over time; you can see where
your CGM readings have been and where your
CGM readings are headed. The pump displays
five glucose Trend Graphs: the 1-Hour, 3-Hour,
6-Hour, 12-Hour, and 24-Hour Graphs. Each
Trend Graph shows trends over the amount of
time shown on the screen.
CGM trend (rate of change) arrows - Arrows on
CGM Data and Trend screens that indicate how
fast your CGM readings are changing. Seven
different arrows show you when the speed and
direction of your CGM readings change.
combo bolus - Your pump lets you split a bolus
amount into 2 parts, a Normal portion and
an Extended portion. The Normal portion is
delivered all at once and the Extended portion is
delivered over an extended period of time that
you set. A combo bolus is useful when eating
foods that contain carbs that are absorbed more
slowly over time.
continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) - The
automatic measurement of glucose levels every
few minutes using a method/device other than a
traditional BG meter.

dawn phenomenon - More insulin may be
required in the early hours of normal sleep to
counteract the release of several hormones
that act to increase BG levels. This increased
need for insulin is known as dawn phenomenon
and may cause a person with diabetes to
have a high BG level upon waking. Basal rate
delivery by the Animas
®
can be programmed to compensate for dawn
phenomenon.
default - A pump setting that is selected
automatically unless another option is chosen.
diabetes - Diabetes is a complex disease in
which the body cannot maintain healthy BG
levels because either enough insulin cannot be
produced or the body cannot appropriately use
insulin. In type 1 diabetes, the body no longer
produces insulin and in type 2 diabetes, the
body cannot use insulin properly.
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) - DKA results when
there is not enough insulin available to help
glucose enter the cells where it is used for
energy. The body, in turn, burns muscle and
fat for energy. A waste product of fat burning is
ketones. Ketones accumulate in the blood and
then pass through the urine and lungs. This
condition can be identified by urine and/or
blood tests. DKA usually requires hospitalization
and can be fatal if not promptly treated.
fingerstick - A blood glucose test taken with
a blood glucose meter using a blood sample
obtained from the fingertip.
gastroparesis - Gastroparesis is a complication
of diabetes that causes delayed emptying of the
stomach, resulting in unpredictable swings in BG
levels.
glucagon - Glucagon is a hormone produced
by the alpha cells in the pancreas. It causes BG
levels to rise.
glucose - Glucose is a carbohydrate and the
body's most important source of energy. It is
produced from digested food, by the normal
action of the liver, and is carried by the blood
and other fluids throughout the body.
