Basal Settings• – Settings that allow you to dene the basal amount, basal maximum limit, and the temporary
basal format.
Battery Cap –
• Cap cover for the battery compartment.
Battery Compartment –
• Where the pump battery is stored.
BG Target --
• The blood glucose you wish your pump to correct to. It is used in the correction bolus calculator,
and abbreviated as Target BG. This target value is developed with the guidance of your health care professional
and varies from person to person Note that it may be dierent than your desired blood glucose range.
Blood Glucose (BG)
• – The main sugar found in the blood and the body’s main source of energy. This is also
called blood sugar.
Blood Glucose Level
• –The amount of glucose in a sample of blood.
Blood Glucose Meter Test Strip Port
• – The port where you insert a FreeStyle Lite Test Strip when checking
your blood glucose.
Bolus
• – An extra burst of insulin taken either to cover the rise in blood glucose that occurs after eating, or to cor-
rect high blood glucose.
Bolus/Wake Up Button
• (pump) – The button on the side of the pump. Press it the number of times needed to
deliver a quick bolus using the One-Button Bolus function. You can also press it once to stop a normal bolus in
progress. The pump will timeout in 15-120 seconds. Press and hold the button to wake up the pump from sleep
mode to display the Home screen.
Bolus Calculator
• – Settings for calculating a bolus based on food intake, and/or a correction to a desired blood
glucose level. It helps you calculate the correct dose of insulin based on carbohydrates, current blood glucose,
and how much insulin from earlier boluses remains active in the body. It does NOT take other factors into ac-
count, such as exercise, illness, and food other than carbohydrate.
Bolus History
• – A list of your last 10 boluses.
Bolus Options –
• Settings to customize your bolus insulin settings, including bolus increments and maximums,
as well as your bolus calculator options.
Bolus Panel
• – Displays the status of the most recent or last bolus given including bolus volume and time.
Cancellation Alert –
• Occurs when the screen timed out when there are pending changes on a screen, or if you
pressed and held the Back button to return to the Home screen when there are pending changes on a screen,
intentionally canceling the change.
Cannula
• – A slender plastic tube that is under the skin that is used to deliver insulin in your body. During the in-
sertion of the infusion set, the center of the cannula contains a ne gauge needle to help the cannula penetrate
the skin. The needle is then removed after insertion, leaving the plastic cannula in your skin.
Cannula Housing
• – The part of the infusion set where the tubing connects to the infusion set on your body.
Carbohydrates (CHO)
• – The component of food that most directly aects your blood glucose levels. The pri-
mary energy source from food.
Care Comments
• – Alerts for specic activities, i.e. such as to remind you to change your infusion set. You can
turn these on or o.
Check BG
• – An alert to remind you to check your blood glucose levels 2 hours following a site change.
Companion Screen
• – The part of the companion where the information is displayed.
Connector
• Needle – The part of the infusion set that contains a needle to connect to the cannula.
Contraindications –
• Descriptions of what the pump is NOT intended for.
Correction Bolus
• – A bolus given to lower blood glucose level elevated above the target blood glucose level.
Correction Factor
• – Also known as sensitivity factor and 1 U Drop. This amount is how much blood glucose
drops with delivery of 1 units of short or rapid-acting insulin. The number is unique to each user and is pro-
grammed into the pump for use in the bolus calculator. When glucose is high or low the calculator will use this
information to estimate your insulin dose.
Create Program –
• Allows you to create up to four basal programs and assign each a specic name, i.e., on week-
ends, during exercise, or when you are ill.
Cursor –
• A setting that allows you to change the appearance of the selection cursor from a dark highlight cursor
(reverse video) to an outline cursor.
Dawn Phenomenon –
• A period of time occurring in the middle of the sleep cycle where the body releases extra
amounts of glucose into the blood stream, requiring a temporary increase in your basal insulin needs.
Delete Program –
• Function that allows you to delete a basal program.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• (DKA)– A potentially life threatening emergency condition in which extremely high
blood glucose levels from a severe lack of insulin, result in the breakdown of body fat for energy and an accumu-
lation of ketones in the blood and urine.
Display Preferences—
• Settings that allow you to choose right or left display, timeout, home screen appearance,
viewing the cursor in highlight or outline mode, and whether or not you want to magnify the text.
Display Right or Left –
• A setting that allows you to switch the screen orientation such that the buttons are on
the right side of the pump or on the left side of the pump.
Dual Bolus
• – A bolus that combines a NORMAL bolus with an EXTENDED bolus. It is sometimes used when food
is consumed that may have both an early eect on your glucose as well as a longer eect, such as pizza.
Dust Cover
• – The cover that comes with your pump used to protect the reservoir compartment.
Edit Program –
• Allows you to make changes to an existing basal program, including adding or deleting basal
time blocks and basal rates.
Enter/Backlight Button (pump)
• - The bottom button on the right side of the pump screen with an indented
triangle pointing to the right. It is used to select an item, or to move forward to the next screen. To turn on/o
the backlight, press this button for 2 seconds.
Enter Button/Jogwheel (companion) -
• The top jogwheel button on the right side of the companion. The
jogwheel scrolls to allow you to move up and down through the companion. You can also depress this button to
