CHAPTER 11 - USING ADVANCED FEATURES
Combo Bolus
The Combo Bolus feature is used to give both a Normal and Extended Bolus. This feature is useful for
consumption of high fat meals such as pizza, if you will be "grazing" over a few hours or if you have
gastroparesis. You can program part of your bolus amount to be delivered immediately and part of it to
be delivered slowly over the course of up to 12 hours. Your health care team can help you determine
the "split" of Normal to Extended insulin amounts, as well as the duration that is most appropriate for
you.

programmed. So if you use the same duration and ratio for certain types of meals, you need only
