7.5 Extended Bolus
The Extended Bolus feature allows you
to deliver part of the bolus now and
part of the bolus slowly over a period
of up to 8 hours. This can be helpful for
high fat meals such as pizza or if you
have gastroparesis (delayed stomach
emptying). When using extended bolus,
any correction bolus amount will always
be given in the DELIVER NOW portion.
Talk with our healthcare provider to
determine if this feature is appropriate
for you as well as for recommendations
on the split between now and later and
the duration for the later portion.
Only 1 extended bolus can be active
at any given time. However, if the
DELIVER LATER portion of an extend-
ed bolus is active, you can request
another standard bolus.
