Primary screens
Mes
sages on the screen either:
• Let you identify your PDM
• Tell you how the System is operating
• List menu choices
• Explain how to perform certain tasks
The System’s primary screens are the ID screen (Figure 1-3), the
Status screen (Figure 1-4), and the Home screen (Figure 1-6 on
the next page).
ID screen
The System displays an ID screen to make the PDM easy to iden-
tify when you first turn it on. You can personalize the ID screen by
adding your name and choosing its color. (See Chapter 6, Using
the Personal Diabetes Manager, for details on customizing your
PDM.) You must acknowledge the ID screen before you can use
the PDM. It is important that you always identify the PDM as
yours before you use it.
Status screen
Lists the System’s current operating status (Figure 1-4).
From top to bottom, the Status screen displays:
• Time, date, and result of last blood glucose checked or
entered manually
• Time, date, and total amount of last bolus delivered
• Amount of Insulin on Board (IOB) will be displayed on
Status screen (if calculator in use)
• Name and rate of active basal program or temp basal
program
• “Ext bolus,” the amount of insulin, and the delivery time
remaining if an extended bolus is being delivered
• “INSULIN SUSPENDED” if insulin delivery has been
suspended
• Time and date of when the Pod will expire
