8.1 Extended bolus
The Extended bolus is only available in the ADVANCED user menu and
may be turned on or off in the CUSTOM user menu. The Extended bolus
function allows you to program a bolus to be delivered over a period of
time. This function can be helpful during long meals, during dinners or
receptions, or having meals which are digested slowly. The use of the
Extended bolus may also be appropriate with people who have
gastroparesis (delayed digestion).
The duration of bolus delivery can be programmed in 15 minute
h
intervals up to 12 hours
h
and begins immediately after confirmation.
Note
You can add a Standard bolus to an ongoing Extended bolus.
If you cancel the Standard bolus, the Extended bolus remains
running.
During the delivery of an Extended bolus, the programming
of another Extended bolus or a MultiWave bolus is blocked.
If you want to program a different Extended bolus, put
your insulin pump into
STOP
to cancel the current bolus and
program a new one.
Warning
Incorrect programming of your insulin pump may cause
inappropriate insulin delivery. Your insulin pump must
be programmed with your personal settings prior
to starting insulin pump therapy. Do not operate your
insulin pump without knowing your personal settings.
If you are not sure about your personal settings or you
are less experienced, have your doctor or healthcare
team check your personal settings.
