12.1 Recommendations for daily use

Training and use of your insulin pump require the
support of an experienced doctor or healthcare team.
Regular visits with your doctor or healthcare team are
absolutely essential during insulin pump therapy.
Only change your personal settings after consulting
your doctor or healthcare team. Always follow the
instructions given by your doctor or healthcare team.
Successful insulin pump therapy requires frequent self-monitoring of
blood glucose levels. It is recommended to check your blood glucose at
least four times a day, or as directed by your doctor or healthcare team.

Consult your doctor or healthcare team about when and for how long
insulin pump therapy can be interrupted.
1. Put your insulin pump into STOP.
2. Remove or disconnect your infusion set from your infusion site.
When using a disconnectable infusion set, disconnect at your
infusion site and use the protective covers provided for the
infusion set.
Measure your blood glucose level regularly during any insulin
interruption. Use a syringe or insulin pen to inject insulin according to the
instructions of your doctor or healthcare team.
