Program A Bolus - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

7.5 Program a bolus

The bolus type and amount is determined by your doctor or healthcare
team's guidelines, your blood glucose level, your food intake, your health
condition and your activity level. Discuss the timing, amount and type of
bolus you need to deliver with your doctor or healthcare team. The time,
date and amount of the last 30 boluses can be reviewed in the bolus history.
See the section 7.8.1 "Review the bolus history" for further information.
Your insulin pump allows for the delivery of three types of boluses:
Standard bolus
Extended bolus
MultiWave bolus
For instructions on how to program an Extended bolus and a MultiWave
bolus please refer to section 8 "ADVANCED user menu".
Incorrect programming of your insulin pump may
cause inappropriate insulin delivery.
Your insulin pump must be programmed with your
personal settings prior to starting insulin pump therapy.
Do not operate your insulin pump without knowing
your personal settings.
If you are not sure about your personal settings or you
are less experienced, have your doctor or healthcare
team check your personal settings.
Work with your doctor or healthcare team to determine
the timing, amount and type of bolus you need to
deliver.
Make sure you know your personal carbohydrate
insulin ratio and your correction bolus ratio.
