CHAPTER 4 - INSULIN DELIVERY FUNCTIONS ON YOUR METER REMOTE

Calculating and delivering a bolus
You can use your meter remote to deliver any bolus type that is available with your pump. The
procedures for delivering boluses from your meter remote are very similar to delivering boluses from
your pump.
Your bolus options are:
• Normal
• ezCarb
• ezBG
• Combo Bolus
WARNING: Be sure to review all the values used in bolus calculations to make sure they are
correct. You may always adjust the insulin units up or down before you decide to administer
your bolus. If you dose an insulin amount that is too high or too low, this may result in a
hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event. Please discuss the bolus calculator feature and all
relevant personal settings with your health care professional before using the calculator for
the first time.
As long as RF communication is activated on your meter remote and pump, and the devices are paired,
you may deliver a Normal Bolus using your meter remote. The other bolus types are available only if
you enabled the Advanced Bolus features on your pump. If insulin delivery is suspended on your
pump, or if RF communication is lost or deactivated, you will not be able to use your meter remote as
a remote control to deliver any type of bolus.
NOTE: You can administer insulin directly from your pump under any situation where you are unable to
do so using your meter remote (e.g., RF communication is lost or deactivated, or your meter remote
and pump are out of RF range).
There are two ways to get to the Bolus Menu screen on your meter remote.
The first way is right after you take a BG test. When your result appears on
the screen, "Bolus" will be highlighted. Press
directly to the Bolus Menu screen. You may still add a comment to the test
result after you deliver the bolus.
