How-To Guide

Setting Description
Carb Ratio The carb ratio setting is used for food bolus calculations.
The number of carb grams that are covered by 1 unit of
insulin.
Insulin Sensitivity
Factor
The insulin sensitivity factor setting is used to calculate
correction bolus amounts.
Your insulin sensitivity factor is the amount that BG is
reduced by one unit of insulin.
BG Target The Bolus Wizard feature calculates your estimated bolus
based on your BG target range. The high and low values
you set are the values to which your BG is corrected. To
use a single target value rather than a range, set the
same value for the high and low value of your BG target.
If your BG value is above the high target value, a
correction dose is calculated. If your BG value is below
the low target value, a negative correction is calculated
and subtracted from your food bolus.
Active Insulin Time Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has been delivered
by the pump and is still working to lower your BG levels.
Active insulin time is the length of time that bolus insulin
is tracked as active insulin.
Work with your healthcare professional to get the active
insulin time that best represents the insulin type you use
and your physiological insulin absorption rate.
For more information about how the Bolus Wizard feature
uses your active insulin amount, see About active insulin,
on page 96.
