Managing activity and exercise

What is the Activity feature?

While in Automated Mode, there may be times 
when you would like less insulin automatically 
delivered. When the Activity feature is started,  
the SmartAdjust™ technology reduces insulin 
delivery and automatically sets the target  
glucose to 150 mg/dL for the time you choose. 

When can the Activity feature be used?

During activities like sports, swimming, yard  
work, a walk in the park, or any other time  
when the glucose level tends to go low.

How do I start the Activity feature?

1. Tap the menu button
2. Tap 

ACTIVITY

3. Enter the desired duration, then tap 

CONFIRM

4. Tap
