Glossary
Bolus
The amount of insulin delivered (in addition to the basal rate) to cover the
intake of food and correct high blood glucose levels. The bolus amount is
determined by your doctor or healthcare team's guidelines, your blood
glucose level, your food intake and your activity level.
Carrying system
A wide variety of carrying systems made of different materials are
specially designed to suit your individual needs while wearing your insulin
pump.
Cartridge
The insulin reservoir of your insulin pump. It holds 3.15 ml (315 IU) of
short acting insulin or fast acting insulin analogue.
Cartridge compartment
The opening in your insulin pump for the cartridge.
Daily insulin total
The total amount of insulin delivered (basal rate plus boluses) delivered in
a 24 hour day, beginning at midnight. This amount does not include any
insulin needed for the priming of infusion sets.
Diabetes Data Management (DDM)
Diabetes Data Management is the recording of the therapy relevant data
gained from your insulin delivery system and your blood glucose
measurement system (such as an Accu-Chek blood glucose monitor) in
order to analyse and illustrate this data on a PC or other communication
devices.
Factory settings
Your insulin pump is provided by Roche Diagnostics with a standard
configuration (factory settings). These settings can be adapted to your
individual needs directly on your insulin pump or by using the Accu-Chek
Insulin Pump Configuration Software.
