Chapter 10 – Quick Bolus
10.1 Setting Up Quick Bolus
Setting up the Quick Bolus function en-
ables you to deliver a bolus by simply
pressing a button. It is a way to deliver
a bolus by following beep/vibration
commands without navigating through
or viewing the pump screen.
The default for the Quick Bolus function
is off. Quick Bolus can be set to either
units of insulin or grams of carbohy-
drate. The increment options are 0.5,
1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 units; or 2, 5, 10 and
15 grams of carb.
The quick bolus delivery setting (grams
of carbohydrate or units of insulin) is
independent of the active Personal
Profile bolus setting.
