If you enter carbs and reverse corrections are On, the
System will subtract insulin from the suggested meal
bolus to compensate for a low blood glucose (below
the BG target you set). With reverse correction Off,
the System will not subtract insulin from the sug-
gested meal bolus dose due to a low BG. Follow your
healthcare provider' s recommendation to set
reverse correction On or Off.

Enter the duration of insulin action

1. Use the Up/Down Controller button to enter the duration of
insulin action (how long insulin lasts in your body), then press
Next.
The duration-of-insulin-action setting is used to
calculate the amount of insulin on board (IOB) from a
previous correction bolus when you use the sug-
gested bolus calculator.

Select bolus increment and enter maximum bolus

1. Choose a bolus increment (how much each press of the
Up/Down Controller button will increase or decrease a
bolus amount)—either 0.05, 0.10, 0.50, or 1.00 units of insu-
lin—then press Next.
2. Choose the maximum bolus you can give at one time, then
press Next.
