Blood Glucose Results and the Suggested Bolus
Calculator
If the suggested bolus calculator feature is turned

when you
check your blood glucose, the PDM will display the result. From
here, press
Next
to enter carbs (if eating) and have the System
calculate a suggested bolus. (See “Suggested Bolus Calculator” in
Chapter 4, Understanding and Delivering Bolus Doses.)
If the suggested bolus calculator feature is turned
Off
, the
Next

Press
Bolus
to open a screen where you can enter a bolus
manually.
Or press
Done
to return to the
Status
screen to see the most
recent BG result.
The BG result, either from the PDM or from manual entry, is
stored in the System’s history, whether suggested bolus calcula-
tor is turned
On
or
Off
. (See “Blood Glucose Records” in Chapter
8, Understanding Your Records.)
See “Cleaning and disinfecting” in the Appendix for
instructions on how to clean or disinfect your PDM.
Figure 7-23
If you use the suggested bolus calculator within 10
minutes after taking a blood glucose reading, or if you
store a BG reading (for example, one you enter manually)
within the same 10 minutes, that BG value will be used
automatically in the suggested bolus calculator process
(Figure 7-24 on the next page).
Lancing device depicted in Figure 7-23 is representative only.
