10.1 Setting Up Quick Bolus

Setting up the Quick Bolus function en-
ables you to deliver a bolus by simply
pressing a button. It is a way to deliver
a bolus by following beep/vibration
commands without navigating through
or viewing the pump screen.
The default for the Quick Bolus function
is off. Quick Bolus can be set to either
units of insulin or grams of carbohy-
drate. The increment options are 0.5,
1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 units; or 2, 5, 10 and
15 grams of carb.
The quick bolus delivery setting (grams
of carbohydrate or units of insulin) is
independent of the active Personal
Profile bolus setting.

10.2 Delivering Quick Bolus

If the Quick Bolus function is turned On,
you can deliver a bolus without having
to look at the t:slim G4 Pump's screen.
Simply use the Quick Bolus Button to
deliver your bolus. Quick boluses are
delivered as standard boluses (there is
no BG entry or extended bolus).
PRECAUTION
ALWAYS look at the screen to confirm correct
programming of the bolus amount when you
first use the Quick Bolus feature. Looking at the
screen will ensure that you are correctly using
the beep/vibration commands to program the
intended bolus amount.
1. Press and hold Quick Bolus
Button. The Quick Bolus screen
will appear. Listen for 2 beeps (if
Pump Volume is set to beep) or
feel for vibrations (if Pump Volume
is set to vibrate).
2. Press Quick Bolus Button for each
increment until desired amount
is reached. The pump will beep/
vibrate for each button press.
