Example
Ian Insight is invited to dinner. He will have pastry as a
starter and steak with potatoes as his main course. In
addition, his blood glucose level is slightly out of the
target range before the meal. He programs a Multiwave
Bolus of 15 units in total: an immediate dose of 5 units for
the starter and the correction of his high blood glucose
level, and 10 units over a period of 3 hours.
4.5 Multiwave Bolus
The Multiwave Bolus combines a Standard Bolus with an
Extended Bolus; one part of the bolus amount is delivered
immediately while the other is delivered over a specified period
of time.
This bolus can be helpful when you eat meals that contain both
fast and slowly digestible carbohydrates or long meals with
several courses. You can also use this bolus type when you are
planning to eat slowly digestible carbohydrates but have an
elevated blood glucose level before the meal. You program the
immediate part of the bolus for the correction of the blood
glucose level and the extended part for the carbohydrates.
The duration of the delayed Bolus delivery can be programmed in
15-minute intervals for up to 24 hours, and begins immediately
after you confirm the bolus. Throughout the bolus delivery, your
pump displays the remaining time and amount of the bolus in the
Status screen.
You can add a Standard or Quick Bolus to an ongoing Multiwave
Bolus, and one additional Extended or Multiwave Bolus.
