Viewing Time Since Last Rapid-Acting Dose on the
White Cap
You will need to press the White Button more than once to continue
displaying information on the Cap display, and to continue to the next
screen. The number of button pushes is a function of whether you have
enabled the Correction Insulin and Mealtime Insulin features.
1. When the White Cap is powered off it
displays the rapid-acting insulin name you
entered in the App.
2.
Press the White Cap button once to turn the Cap on.
The hours and minutes recorded since
your last insulin dose will appear on the
display.
The time since your last insulin dose
serves as a reminder to help prevent you from taking another
dose of rapid-acting insulin too soon, and not to forget your next
insulin dose.
Your White Cap displays helpful insulin information that can help
you decide how much insulin to dose based on whether you
need to lower (correct) a high blood glucose and/or cover carbs
in a meal or snack.
Note: If this is the rst time using the White Cap to track your last
insulin dose, the screen will show dashes (--) in place of the hours and
minutes since your last dose.
3.
Decide if you want to measure your current glucose level either by
scanning the Sensor or using a blood sample from your nger using
your Meter.
You may also choose to skip getting a Sensor reading or Meter
result by pressing the button on the White Cap and continue with
displaying your Mealtime Insulin amounts on the Cap.
Using your White Cap to View Current Glucose
You have the option to scan your Sensor and/or have a result from your
Meter sent to your White Cap. Work with your health care provider to
put together a plan for managing your diabetes that includes when to
use the Sensor glucose readings for making treatment decisions.
Note: Bigfoot Unity will only use a glucose result taken from the Meter
or Sensor to display a Correction Insulin dose on your Cap if the
glucose value was recorded within the last 10 minutes. This will help
make sure you are using your most current glucose level to make an
insulin dosing decision.
