Setup Advanced Screen 1 – Personal Settings - BG Target Ranges
A BG Target is your personal goal for keeping your BG levels under control. A BG Target may be set as
an actual range (with a minimum and maximum value), or a single value. Your HCP may recommend
you use different BG Target ranges (or values) for different times of the day.
m
WARNING: ALWAYS review changes in your pump settings with your HCP to make sure they
are correct. Incorrect settings can result in under delivery or over delivery of insulin and result in
serious injury or death.
The BG Targets (ranges or values) you set in the pump are important as they are used in calculating
suggested BG correction bolus amounts when using the ezBG and ezCarb features on your pump
(see Chapter 10 in Section I). When the pump calculates a suggested BG correction bolus, it begins the
calculation by determining the difference between your current BG and the BG Target range/value for
the current time of day stored in the pump. That number, along with your ISF, is then used to calculate
a BG correction bolus amount that would bring your current BG in line with your BG Target range/value.
In addition to the BG correction bolus amount, there are other factors that are used in calculating
suggested insulin bolus amounts when using the ezBG and ezCarb features on your pump. These
include the amount of Insulin on Board from a previous bolus, your ISF, and your I:C Ratio. For
more information on Insulin on Board including activating the feature on your pump, refer to Setup
Advanced Screen 8 – Insulin on Board in this chapter. See Chapter 10 in Section I for information on
using the ezBG and ezCarb features on your pump.
NOTE: The BG Targets discussed here are different than the Low and High Glucose Alerts that apply
only to CGM readings when using the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter with your pump.
See Chapter 2 in Section II for more information on CGM Alerts.
The SETUP ADV 1 (BG Target) screen allows you to set different BG Target (ranges or values) for
12 different time slots. Each BG Target (range or value) is set by first selecting a BG Target and then
a +/- amount that will define the minimum and maximum of the range. For example, a BG Target of
120 mg/dL and a +/- amount of 10 mg/dL means the Target range will be set to 110 – 130 mg/dL.
If you prefer to correct your BG to one target value rather than a range, set the +/- amount to 0.
