Chapter 13 – t:slim Pump Reminders
Your t:slim Pump lets you know import-
ant information about the System with
Reminders, Alerts, and Alarms. Re-
minders are displayed to notify you of
an option that you have set (for exam-
ple, a reminder to check you BG after
a bolus). Alerts display automatically to
notify you about safety conditions that
you need to know (for example, an alert
that your insulin level is low). Alarms
display automatically to let you know of
an actual or potential stopping of insulin
delivery (for example, an alarm that the
insulin cartridge is empty). Pay special
attention to Alarms.
If multiple Reminders, Alerts, and Alarms
happen at the same time, Alarms will be
displayed first, Alerts will be displayed
second, and Reminders will be dis-
played third. Each must be confirmed
separately until all have been confirmed.
Information in this section will help you
learn how to respond to Reminders.
Reminders notify you with a single
sequence of 3 notes or a single vibra-
tion depending on the volume/vibrate
setting in Pump Volume. They repeat
13.1 Low BG Reminder
The Low BG Reminder prompts you
to re-test your BG after a low BG value
is entered. When turning this reminder
on, you need to set a low BG value
that triggers the reminder, as well as
how much time should pass before the
reminder occurs.
The default for this reminder is pre-set
to off. If on, Remind Me Below 70 mg/
dL, and Remind Me After 15 min, but
you can set these values from 70–120
mg/dL and 10–20 min.
