1. Fixed Dose Mode - Setup
The following settings must be set before you can
begin fixed dosing:
Maximum Calculated Dose – The maximum
calculated dose that your healthcare provider
determines is safe for you. If a single dose
recommendation or the total of recent doses plus the
recommendation exceeds the maximum calculated
dose setting, an alert will be displayed. Refer to the
instructions given by your healthcare provider.
Duration of Insulin Action – This is the amount of time
that insulin is actively lowering your blood glucose. It is
used to calculate Active Insulin.
Target Blood Glucose – This is the blood glucose
value you are trying to achieve. When entering a
blood glucose value into the Dose Calculator, it will
recommend insulin or carbohydrates to return to this
target value.
Insulin Sensitivity Factor – This is the amount your
blood glucose is lowered by 1 unit of insulin.
Time of Day Settings – By default, this is disabled and
Target Blood Glucose and Insulin Sensitivity Factor
are constant throughout the day. By sliding the switch
to the right, you can set these values to four different
values throughout the day. To disable this feature, slide
the switch back to the left.
Each day at the time selected, the values in the column
will be active until the next column’s time is reached.
Tap the time to adjust it. Note that the times must be in
order and cannot overlap.
Time of Day settings are disabled by default. See
Advanced App Features for instructions.
Fixed Dose Settings - This is the dose size your
healthcare provider has determined for the different
meals of the day.
