For information on how to set up bolus advice, see the Standard Owner’s Booklet. • If you deliver a bolus without using bolus advice, you should enter the bolus advice into your diary.

If you think you are dehydrated, call your healthcare professional right away. • Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Others, such as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their symptoms to caregivers.
