maximum total daily dose (TDD) delivery warning
- You can program your pump to alert you when
combined basal and bolus insulin delivery will
exceed a maximum daily amount you have set in
your pump.
maximum two-hour (2hr) delivery warning -
You can program your pump to alert you when
combined basal and bolus insulin delivery will
exceed a maximum 2-hour amount you have set
in your pump.
mg/dL - mg/dL is the unit used to measure
glucose levels. It is the abbreviation for
milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood.
To convert mg/dL to mmol/L, divide by 18.02 or
multiply by 0.055.
occlusion - Occlusion means "blockage." The
Animas Vibe
® ™
able to sense when delivery of the insulin is
being blocked for some reason. The pump will
automatically stop delivering insulin and give
an alarm to alert you to clear the occlusion and
re-start the pump.
o-ring - Both the cartridge and the battery
cap contain an "o" shaped ring made of a
soft material that functions as a seal when
compressed. O-rings operate properly only if
the surface is free of defects (cuts, scratches,
abrasion).
pancreas - The pancreas is a glandular organ just
behind the stomach, next to the liver. It produces
digestive enzymes used to break down proteins
in food. It contains alpha cells, which produce
glucagon, and beta cells, which produce insulin.
radio frequency (RF) - How CGM readings are
sent from the Transmitter to the pump.
RF range - The allowable distance between the
pump and Sensor/Transmitter for them to be
able to communicate.
rise and fall alerts - See CGM rise and fall alerts.
safety lock - See CGM safety lock.
sensor pod - See CGM Sensor pod.

sensor probe - See CGM Sensor probe.
startup period - See CGM startup period.
stress hormones - Stress hormones (or "counter-
regulatory" hormones) are released by the body
in times of intense physical or emotional stress.
These hormones cause the body to release
glucose. If the glucose is not used as energy,
hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis can result.
subcutaneous - Subcutaneous means beneath
the skin. The infusion set needle is placed
subcutaneously.
temporary (or temp) basal - Setting a temporary
basal lets you increase or decrease your current
basal program rate for a desired period of time.
Your current basal rate is based on the basal
program that is currently active in your pump.
When you set a temporary basal, you select a
percentage increase or decrease, and then set
the desired time period the increase or decrease
will stay in effect.
transmitter - See CGM Transmitter.
transmitter ID - See CGM Transmitter ID.
transmitter latch - See CGM Transmitter latch.
trend arrow - See CGM trend arrow.
type 1 diabetes - Type 1 diabetes results from
destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas.
People with type 1 diabetes mellitus must use
insulin to regulate their BG levels.
type 2 diabetes - Type 2 diabetes usually occurs
in people 40 years or older. People with type 2
diabetes have a progressive loss of beta cells
over time. They can sometimes regulate their
BG levels by following an individual meal plan,
exercising and taking antidiabetic pills. They
frequently require insulin for optimal BG control.
