2.3 The Black Cap for Long-Acting Insulin
The Black Cap is designed to help you remember the long-acting insulin
dose that your health care provider recommends and shows how long it
has been since you took your last dose of long-acting insulin. It replaces
the cap that came with your long-acting insulin pen.
You can choose to receive an alert on your phone to let you know if you
may have missed a long-acting insulin dose. This alert is based on the
use of the Black Cap and Bluetooth
®
communication between the Cap
and the App.
2.4 The White Cap for Rapid-Acting Insulin
The White Cap is designed to help you remember the rapid-acting
insulin doses that you take before meals (Mealtime Insulin) and to bring
down a high glucose (Correction Insulin). It replaces the cap on your
rapid-acting insulin pen. The timer on the White Cap also helps you
remember when you took your last dose of rapid-acting insulin from
your pen.
The White Cap works with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor to help you
continuously monitor your glucose. You can scan the Sensor with
the White Cap to get current glucose readings on-demand without
ngersticks.
The White Cap can also receive glucose results from the connected
blood glucose Meter.
The connected devices of Bigfoot Unity allow for easy transfer of data
between the White Cap, the Sensor, the blood glucose Meter, and the
App. Information in the App lets you review your glucose and insulin
history and share it with your health care provider.
When you use the White Cap to scan and display your current glucose
level from the Sensor, the Cap will show where your glucose level is
headed with a Trend Arrow. The White Cap will record and send the
past 8 hours of continuous glucose information to the App.
